Excellent knife for the price, can't beat it!:
I purchased this knife based on all the good reviews and I'm sure glad I did. This knife is my main knife now, it replaced my $200 knife. It has also inspired me to work on my knife skills. Don't be fooled by the price, it really is a great knife at an amazing price!
So so:

Well worth the money @ this knife! You won't be sorry with this purchase.
