Excellent
Very sturdy, comfortable in the hand, and well assembled. Fit and finish isn't perfect, but still very good. The birch wood is gorgeous, well finished, and fit beautifully to the liners and bolsters (transitions are seamless). Comes well sharpened, and the included leather slip is a little tight, but just fantastic as well. Overall, it looks incredible, slices wonderfully, and does a great job packing the tobacco in my pipe. Highly recommend!
