Every aspect of this purchase was simply perfect. The item itself is excellent in every way. If you're looking at this knife and this review then you've probably already done your homework and researched other reviews online. I can only confirm all of the good news that you have come across. All of the hype is spot on and without exaggeration. As to Liteshop? My experience with them in regard to the purchase was flawless. Plus I received the item in what must be just about record time for Aust Post. Two days from the time that I placed the order to when I received it on the NSW South Coast. All up I couldn't be happier and have no hesitation in recommending the Riuke 801SF and Liteshop based on my experience.
