Geode,
Have the Pikuni and like it. Feels pretty good in my hand, though you might find the handle a bit small. Sheath is good. Edge seems sharp enough, though I have not cut much with it. Assume it will take a while to understand if the D2 blade is somehow better than ATS-34 or something similar.
If you want/need a reasonably priced, 2.9 - 3" fixed blade, recommend it.
