Anybody have one?

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a Browning Field Duty Extreme BR685. I know it's an older knife, but I just came upon a new one and was wondering if anyone out there might have any feedback on it. I've called Browning and they didn't have much information for me. From what I can find out, it retailed for around $150.00 in 2003. Is it a decent knife for the money or did it have problems and better to leave it alone? Any information would be much appreciated.

It's a pretty basic knife, a slab of metal and two pieces of micarta, not sure what problems it could have unless the heat treat was not done well (not saying this is the case). If you want it, buy it.

Just to note though, you can get great deals on handmade knives from the knifemaker's market here on Bladeforums.

If you like it, I'd buy it. Pretty simple.
