Worth the cost and then some!
I have a list as long as my arm of UK legal knives, mid/upper-mid range mostly, stuff like the BM proper, Hinderer slippy and the like to get an idea. I can say with certainty this bats well above its pay grade. Rock solid in the hand, and inspires more confidence than the proper. It has a strong backspring but can still pinch grip it open. Classic ergonomics, modern classic look, a very well ground blade, and would still recommend it at twice the price. Needed a sharpen after a few days, but not too much trouble on s35vn even with standard stones from a lansky kit. Only downside - the box is cool, but definitely not indestructible, and it's only a pelican(ish) LOOKING box (but for the money I wouldn't expect it to be anything more) Basically a 10/10 in my books!
