For a 14.00 knife, how can one complain at all. Some said it was difficult to put an edge on. Not so for me. My blade did have a small chip on the edge when I received it, but it polished out and the knife is nice and workably sharp. The blade is straight, which is an issue with knives made in Pakistan, so that was lucky. The bone scales are well shaped and secure. The steel bolster is well matched and seems secure as well. The thickness of the blade was pleasing. Looks to be just under 3/16 of an inch. This gives a nice weight and sturdiness. The sheath is serviceable. It is leather and a slit back type, so it rides high on the hip. I wear it slanted in the front, which seems to work well. It certainly is not a lifetime sheath with that design. In my experience, the slit design will eventually stretch and then break. It is an old design that they used to do for sheaths back in the 50's. I would have preferred a belt loop so it hangs a little lower, but I really can't take stars away for that. It works, and will suffice for some time. When I get a new knife, I usually carry it for a while to see how well it performs in my every day life. I live in the mountains and use a knife daily for cutting feed bags, chopping branches, cutting rope/paracord, etc... So we will see how this performs and if it remains a standard part of my kit. I'm pretty confident. Plus, for the price, I am not afraid of actually using this knife fully. Heck.. It's only 14.00. If it breaks, not a huge deal. I can just buy another. One thing. Quality control is spotty on all blades from Pakistan. So if you buy this knife, you may get a great blade, like the one I got, or you may get one that needs a lot of work to be useable. I took a chance. For 14.00 you may want to as well. I'm satisfied with what I received.Update: I've used this knife off and on for a good while and I'm still using it. It doesn't hold the edge real long, but sharpens up quickly. So far it functions as i would like and expect. The sheath is still operational. I see the price went up $2.00. Still a bargain for this knife.
