Does anybody have experiences of this knife? Seems to be quite good little knife and rather cheap. I think it would be a good knife for edc and for all daily tasks

I have one. It sits on my desk in the plastic sheath and I use it primarily as a package/letter opener. You are correct in that it could be a great little fixed blade EDC, I just prefer a folder.

IIRC, it's made of AUS-6 so it takes a decent edge. It's very easy to sharpen unlike some of the super steels. One reason I bought it was as a sharpening practice knife. For <$20, you can't go wrong. I put a monkey fist lanyard on it and it actually sees quite a bit of use.

It is an excellent little knife for the price. I carried one for a while to test it out for the shop and did a fair bit of cutting with it inc. thick leather - easy to sharpen and keeps a reasonable edge. I have now relegated it to my Fruit Knife - makes an excellent peeler.

I like it for uses similar to those posted already, in addition to others. It's also a decent whittler, as someone posted somewhere along the way. I tried it myself a few days ago on a cut branch out in my backyard and it did nearly as well as my woodcarving knife.
