Okay I got one a While ago from Josh at Buck. Shipping time was outstanding when i got the knife i had the same concerns that i have seen posted here the rivets the serations etc. on mine the grind lines are not even not a big deal still has a pointy end and a sharp side. played with the knife and i am impressed other than the cosmetic things i pointed out (grind lines) so this past week i took it with me to attend some training at the NTOA (National tactical officers association) annual convention held this year in Denver Co. I passed the knife around during some of the classes and then again at the nightly Iced Tea social hosted by the Aurora Co. Swat team. the only two complaints were the serations the operators didn't think they were necesary and the price I am sorry to say that by far the most popular knife amongst the guys were the S&W tactical series followed by Benchmade. and it wasn't just a few either. the main reason being price. these were not your run of the mill street cops either there were operators from Ca, Co, Ks, Id, Ny, Nj, Ne, Ill, and those are just the ones i Remember. so apparantly the price point thing is very important to these men. the main reason for the price point is and i know this from haveing lost a Strider Ar. you will lose your knife eventually.
