I had one and gave it to my brother. I wouldnt buy another one.

Pros: Inexpensive...

Cons: It looks good in the pictures but it feels pretty cheap. The glass breaker on the backside will stick you every time you reach into your pocket. Its also a bit small for my taste.
 
That hole creeps me out, it looks like it would snap clean through with any sideways pressure
 
If you put a g10 slab on the nonlocking side, removed that rediculous hole and replaced it with something reasonable (studs, disc, or a small hole) then offered it in PE with a decent blade steel that BM already uses (154cm, d2, s30v) I would buy one in a heart beat.

as it stands the 25 dollar entry price from NGK seems about right for it. and I dont think you could even use the knife as a edc beater because you would scare the poo out of everyone around you every time you used it.
 
Funny, my thoughts are the complete opposite. I actually find myself using this knife over my others. *shrugs*
