Highlights

Quality

The grip is outstanding and it will hold a razor-sharp edge when sharpened properly.

Sturdy, tough belt sheath (can wear both horizontally and vertically off your belt- i prefer horizontally for fast access).

This knife has been hurried in dirt, dropped in salt water, left in a musty shed, and i've chipped the blade twice.

None of this matters really, the blade if it's still true today as it was two decades ago, is a moot point.

Price

It fits all the requirements i need at an under $55 price, which is a great deal.

I do recommend buying here on amazon for the best price (or shop around).

The only reason i'm even looking at it on amazon today is to see how much it cost.

Reminds me of the sog tomcat, but at a fraction of the price.

Competitiveness

(it's done a lot by other companies and buck moved a lot of their production to china).

It stays in my tool box at work now, give it attention as needed, and it rivals a box cutter for sharpness.
