after 3 weeks finally customs released my ben hogan, genuine stag, serial number 21 :D ::ds::
fit n finish is very impressive , the pull on this is just right, not a nail breaker, and sharp out of the box ::nod:: ::tu::
with a whooping 4,5" closed, it's a long knife, glad it's a slim one, so suprisingly fit really good in the hand, but kinda feel a bit weird in the front pocket tough :mrgreen:
overall I'm very happy with this one ::nod:: ::tu:: ::ds::

That's a beautiful knife Falah. Maybe a little long for an EDC but a classic for your collection. ::tu::

Encouraging in these times isn't it? ::ds:: I'm going to try to make the trip to the factory this summer. It's only about a three hour drive from me.

Three weeks in customs seems like a long time. I hope they don't hold your packages that long every time. ::dang::
