“I bought this as a cheap intro to buying a lame so I can get a feel for the kind of lame I would like to buy as my long term purchase. Its great, does the job that it needs to. I would say that the sharpness is fab when you first use it but doesn't stay as sharp after. Having used it for a couple of months now, I now go over my scores at least twice. For the price it says what it does on the tin. Nothing to complain about, happy with it, it doesn't come with a cover, but I just wrap it in a small amount of kitchen paper, not really a big issue for me.”
