I have had one of these for a while. I have done a bit of chopping with it and it held up fine, no edge chipping or anything, and sharpening it back up was no probelm.
Cutting and slicing is very easy with this knife and edge holding is pretty good...about on par with other well done aus8 blades. I did notice when using it as a chopper that its not one of its strong points. It will do in a pinch, but its not blade heavy enough for that, and unless a lanyard is used, I always felt like I better hang on tight or the knife was gonna go sailing across the yard.
Fit, finish and grinds are all well done, except the fit of the guard could have been a little better, it has a couple of small but noticable gaps.
The sheath is leather, and one the better quality leather sheaths to come with a production knife.
IMO its worth the money, and depending on your intended use (cutting, slicing, or just good looks) then you oughta be happy with it. If you want a good heavy duty efficient chopper then you will probably want to find something larger and more blade heavy.
