    Real talk

    Not another safe niche frag. This one's got bark and bite, the cypress opens sharp, the leather underneath is real (not simulated), and it holds its ground for a full workday.Drakon
    Here's what enthusiasts understand: this isn't another competent woody. The galbanum and Sichuan pepper open like a slap of cold air, sharp, confrontational.Noir Anthracite
