It is selling for a very reasonable price and the spec looks good.
"CRKT 1000A Wild Weasel with "Tailwind" assisted opening 154CM Blade! The comfortable handle is crafted from T6061 Aluminum with black Santoprene rubber inserts and reversible righty or lefty pocket clip.

The Wild Weasel's 3.275" blade is crafted from U.S.A. made, premium, 154CM high carbon stainless steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 58-60. The blade is a modified drop point, hollow ground with a belly and recurve. A false top edge aids penetration, while the blade spine keeps its full thickness for 80% of its length for strength. The blade finish is a non-reflective light bead blast"

Sold for $45.00 online yesterday
The inserts or the handle do not look good.
Opinions?
 
Nice score! about half the going on-line rate!!

Don't see how you can go wrong at that price.
 
I have one and it's great except for the fact that I have medium-size hands that are on the larger side of medium and the knife doesn't fit my hand so well up around the area of the index finger cutout. If your hands are anywhere near the big side, handle one before you buy it, if possible.
 
My pleasure, Danno4017.
Sorry I didn't see your request about the inserts.

They are Kraton and work decently enough as a grip enhancer. They don't get in the way or anything like that. The only bad thing about them is they are made of Kraton. Cold Steel's Kraton has been melting on some of my knives in recent years. I am not very happy with Kraton as a result. This is not the case with any other knives I have with Kraton on them, so, it might just have been a bad batch
