I don't own one but I have handled one. They have them in stock at my local Gander Mtn. It's a sturdy and ergonomic blade no doubt, but seems overbuilt to me. The blade is very thick, appears atleast 4mm which is much thicker than I prefer for this type of knife.
I personally think S30v is an excellent choice of steel.
I would be much more interested in it if had a thinner blade stock, say around 3mm or even less. Batoning is not on my list of necessities for this type of knife and I would much rather have a lighter and thinner knife.
I don't think it has anything on my $40 Mora Bushcraft black, and Truth be told I have made it through many hunting and camping outings with a Mora no 1 and been just fine.
It's a handsome knife, but I will not be picking one up.
