So very happy with this purchase. The thought and detail that went in to this design is evident. Top notch, worth every penny.

Love everything about the knife. Great Father’s Day gift from my wife. Just very happy. Can’t wait to us at work.

The knife is a beast! Super well built knife, I love seeing this level of attention to detail in a knife at this price point. It nice to see that money wasn’t wasted on useless, fancy packaging. Hardware is nice with a unique pivot, always nice to see. G10 feels good without being overly aggressive. Overall, a fantastic knife at a more then reasonable price.

This is one of the best knives I own.
Sharp and feels great in the hand. I live in Alaska so you need a knife your life is depended on. Wish I had this when I was in the Army. Thank you for a great tool.

The show side of this knife is stunning. The form of the knife is so friendly for a preferred grip. I have LARGE (xxxl) hands, and it fits my mitt like no other. The function is second to none for its intended uses. With all the good out there, let’s start with opportunity. The non show side of the blade is underwhelming at best. It truly looks like an afterthought. Although stunning enough to be a display piece, that’s not this knives intended use. For $400 plus dollars, it should have a symmetrical level of beauty. The external stop pins provide an excellent spot to easily reverse flick for deployment, and the one sided, deep fuller has amazing function for deployment as well. The only other suggestion that I might add in there is a little jimping on the bottom side of the scales in order to get a better grip when the karambit style grip is chosen. Good knife with the ability to be a Great one, with minor improvements.

Great knife at an excellent price. Cuts above its price point! Very good materials, good action. Only downside is lack of thumb stub on the clip side.

Absolutely fantastic knife. Haven't used my own yet but the one I borrowed which inspired the purchase was perfect. Great balance, beautiful finish and perfect size for those that are looking for a larger knife.

Love the new addition to my knife family! Been wanting a sniperblade works knife for some time now. It’s incredibly well built and an excellent utility blade. Very happy with it!!!

This is an amazing folder! From the smith operation to the stable liner lock. Everything is solid and what I was hoping for. The price was intimidating at first but once I held it I forgot about it. Seriously great work y’all

I bought the Dashi from where I work due to some specific jobs. I carry a knife daily, EDC guy who isn't a brand loyal guy but a tool loyal guy. I love how the knife fit my hand, the weight feels right in my size large hands, smooth action, angles are right in all the places, and the knife carries wonderful. I can't think of any negatives, it's just right for me. I've carried it non stop for a few days this far, the s30v steel is a good above par steel and a pleasure to use. I can say this is a great value for all we get. Now I'm looking at another Dashi, another folder, and look forward to seeing what comes next. Grab one is all I can say.

I work part time in a gun store and range. I am a knife guy, and have influenced a few of my friends into knives, good knives, that are not junk. I walked into work one day and the GM slowed me the knives we were going to start carrying, and I started giving them a look over-impressed. I picked up the Dashi and loved the feel in my hand. I had been thinking about getting a kiridashi for cutting leather. Well, it does that very well with the single bevel carpenters precision. Lately it has been the blade that is carried on my daily carry bag and I need to get another one for the leather work table. I wear a large glove, so the pics give you guys needing a visual a reference. Great grind, finish, Shari out of the bag, great kydex sheath with the best locking bent attachment. I would like a third and add some scales but I need to get some other designs from SBW. Simply out get yourself one when and where you can.

The grip angle, fit and finish, are awesome on this knife, definitely a versatile knife, for many tasks.

Sniper Bladeworks have my deepest respect for the quality and craftsmanship of this blade.
The Mamu will be a perfect companion in the Norwegian wilderness - I’m beyond pleased.
