Quality

Excellent made blade is high quality steel.

Quality at its best, holds its edge and my favorite side arm.

Smooth blade opening such that i can flick it with my thumb and open it instantly.

I've cut cardboard, wood, cordage, and at one time even electrical wire using the serrated portion.

Price

This was a great gift for a great price.

It is exactly what i paid for and nothing more, so i give it four stars.

It just did not feel like a $160 knife at all.

They will also tell you they're overpriced to a ridiculous degree.

It shipped very fast and the receiver was thrilled.

The seller shipped in a timely manner and it arrived before it was supposed to.
