I bought a new one some years ago, after it last went out of production. The leather sheath's plastic belt clip is cheesy - and the sheath is easily knocked off the belt. I removed the clip on mine several years ago, but it is still a bit much for the pocket. The knife's Micarta scales and brass liners are thin - it is a 'Gent's knife' - so it isn't as robust as other similar knives... certainly, it isn't a Buck 110. My first one had an off-center steep grind, most evidenced at the tip. It also had some fine grinding/sanding lines evidenced on the scales - I fine sanded and polished (Semichrome) it - it is a handsome knife. I added a knife-only from the BF seller a month or two back. It was in a white nameless box - and perfect! As the knife has a VG10 blade, it is made in Japan. Great deal at it's current price - just don't expect to slay a bear with it - unless it's a smallish teddy bear!
