Nice to see quality tools made in my country. Of course, you pay for that luxury. I was worried about durability of the thin neck, but it seems extremely sturdy; I couldn't bend it for the life of me. The handle is even more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures. There is a gray coating on the underside of the claw, might just be to prevent scratches from nail heads or to give it traction.-1 star because they put several of those cheap paper stickers on it that necessitate 15 minutes of fingernail scraping to get all the paper off, then acetone to remove the sticky residue.Side note: The ounce rating and a safety glasses warning is printed on the side of the head, which is not shown in the pictures. It rubbed off instantly with the acetone I was already using for the sticker residue, so it's an easy fix if that bothers you.
