Shown here is another knife from Bear & Son's "Custom Heritage" series. This one, while it's quality is B-(-), has BEAUTIFUL real pearl handle scales. Those scales are really something special. So why do I say that the quality isn't what it should be?

* Blade centering is poor. The spey blade literally rubs the outside liner.

* The blades are dull. Very dull. Possibly the dullest of any knife that I've ever had. That said, this isn't a "user", so it's not a huge detraction and I can "fix" it easily enough.
