Case BG42 Slim Lock? Any experiences?

[The Mastiff]

I am contemplating this very pretty knife. I was wondering if anybody here has had one. The MSRP at $199.95 on up , and can be had for around $160 ish.

How do they hold up? Blade Geometry, heat treatment seem normal for BG 42, does the lock hold up to the typical "gentlemans" knife type jobs commonaly done in slot it is classed in?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe L.
