Does anybody own one of these knives? I've had my eye on one for a while but haven't seen one first hand - if anyone has one I would appreciate your input on the knife.

Thanks.

I had one similar to subject, with AUS-10 blade and steel handles. It was too heavy for small knife and the clipse was not comfortable, but the blade shape and steel performance was nice. Micarta handles must be better.
 
I owed one for awhile. I found the handle to be comfortable and the canvas micarta to be grippy when wet. The blade came sharp, but had an uneven grind at the swedge. Mine had VG-10 clad by Nickel Damascus which was nice, but discolored easily.

IIRC this Seki-Cut is made by Seto. I've always liked the Seki-Cuts made by Hiro Masui(sp) so I was a little disappointed with this one.
 
I had one for a while, cool heavy little knife with a really old school clip. I kinda wish I kept mine now, but I liked it.
 
I have this coming in the mail with the dimpled stainless handle. I'll post some opinions of it when I get it in.

What are y'all paying for these? If you don't mind sharing.
These are the first knives I've seen in months that have piqued my interest away from swords.
 
I got a gently used one with micarta scales for about $75. Most new ones on ebay go for a bit over $100.

Mine is pretty darn nice. Super sharp, very comfortable and just the right size for me. I dropped it on cement and dinged up the scales pretty good and I'm really thinking hard about replacing them with some exotic wood ones (once I finish my ten thousand other projects that have piled up over the last year). The lockbar goes most of the way across, but it's solid without any blade play. I like it a lot.
 
I got mine new in box for 99 shipped, but these usually go for I wanna say 120 depending on the kind of handle and choice of damascus or non damascus blade.

mine still hasn't come in yet though. Customs Canada always takes so long..
