MUCH better than I'd expected!
I'd read some negative reviews that worried me when I initially purchased the Okapi, but now that I have it, I love it. It's definitely not a Chinese knockoff, real cherry wood, carbon steel, very sharp out of the box, polished finish, tight blade joint, and the ratcheting mechanism feels stronger than I'd anticipated. It even came with oil in the blade joint! Great quality and a lot of care for such a cheap knife!

Love it
Got mine from CAS Iberia. Not a sharp knife but when you sharpen them they do OK at edge retention for1055. I am more about the novelty and fun with this knife. Has a great history too from South Africa to Jamaica, to a famous rock star who carried one. I won't get into all that but research it. Its all interesting stuff. Fun to fidget with too.

Value
The absolute best low dollar everyday carry knife. I have beaten and used this and sharpened it over and over. I have many different really nice great quality knives, this is one of three I carry the most.

Disappointing
Although an interesting piece. The knife won't take or hold an edge. Disappointed

What you need to know
So my husband loves the knife now but he had to put his own edge on it. He said it was a pain to do the edge but once it was done it was easier to sharpen. He uses this knife for EVERYTHING

Really cool knife
This is a really cool knife but it is rough. Closing the blade is crazy sketchy…but that is part of the appeal of the knife.

Disappointing example
I was just on the cusp of sending this knife back. The box looked like it had already been opened and hastily closed up. The blade had a lot of wobble, both lateral and axial. The grind was terrible: the proverbial butter knife. The presentation side of the blade looked as if patination had already started on the exposed portion of the blade. My overall impression was that someone had already returned this knife as unsatisfactory, so they sent it out to me. I decided to see if it could be salvaged, instead. Dunno if that is possible. I have yet to come close to putting an edge on it, even starting with my coarsest stones. I will probably have to resort to power tools. They must have better examples on the shelf. Buy in person, or be prepared to return for exchange or refund.
