Considering the purchase of one of these but have not been able to find any reviews....any opinions/feedback re: this knife? What would be considered a good price?

Thanks!
 
It's been around 2 yrs since I handled one but the knife is WAY thick, in the handle, for a folding knife. I dont know numbers but Id guess about 3/4" thick. When slipped in the pocket it reminded me of a roll of quarters. The blade was ok, not too thick, N690 steel, nice profile. Think I remember teflon/plastic washers. Opened smoothly. (I love the look of the thing, just too thick to carry. It was directed to the military so in combat gear, it would carry better)
 
Ontario XM-1 is .625" thick at the handle, the blade is .200" thick. It's a nice rig, only con is a slippery handle, which I modified. I got it 2 years ago for about 120.00.
 
I had one and the handle is way to bulky. They have a pretty thick
blade too. The liners are titanium but very thin and the lock was very easy to unlock accidentally. For less than $65 maybe, but not for $100+.
