There are some reviews on YouTube. I've got to admit it does look rather nice.

It came today (long wait). It's shaving sharp, there was a little blade movement, but it was easily corrected. The blade is centered (unlike my china made Kershaw) I really like the knife, especially for $16.00. Upon minute inspection, I see a little uneven grinding on the blade, the g10 doesn't exactly match up with the liner, and there is slight marring where the scales were drilled. If it was US made, it would be a $85-$100 dollar knife.
 
I have the Blazer. The only quibble I'd have is the use of nylon washers. Harnds seem to make a good knife, and the steel is a step above the 8Cr that you usually get in Chinese made knives.
 
I had to send it back. The blade was so off center that it rubbed one side right out of the box. I got the blazer also... so huge and wicked sharp. The little brawler knockoff one i forget the name is pretty junky I was not impressed.

The vipers clip is ridiculous and looks like crap. super long and screams look at me. I was very excited to get it but very disappointed with it once i handled it. That Blazer is however a great knife.
