The blade arrived sharp but not shaving sharp. There are a few very fine scratches that can be seen in the pic below especially if you click the pic and go to the original photo. The Elk hoove prints in the blade are laser cut and clean and crisp. The working end of the knife is a very stout drop point blade. A nice little surprise not mentioned in the product description on FastTech's webpage. Packed along with the knife and sheath was a small bottle of light machine oil.

The Buck 480 arrived in a thin, yellow and black cardboard box that was just a little crushed on one side from the trip to the States inside a padded envelope. Easily one of the most anticipated packages I've received from Fasttech, it didn't disappoint with either knife. I bought this knife along with a Ganzo 712 on 4/15 and it was in my hands on 5/2. Gimping is a little rough but definitely looks like it was done by hand and not cut out in a laser CNC cutter.

A couple small scratches in the blade and handle but nothing that can't be buffed and/or sanded out.

Decent sheath with protective insert to protect the stitching from the blade edge.

Full tang, thick blade with very practical blade profile for hunting, camping, or working in the back yard.

FastTech does it again with their amazing pricing. Some Googling revealed the closest price I found for the exact same knife elsewhere is $28. Just $8.95 USD for this? Heck yeah! I'd do it again and, in fact, I have bought more to gift to family members.
