The handles look like they'd be comfortable, though I wouldn't store anything in them. Other than that, the sheath is about the only thing interesting about it.
A geometry for not cutting, a tip for not piercing, a serrated ramp for chewing up your thumb...kinda nice how they bead blasted it to maximize surface area, and minimize corrosion resistance, though
This may be a serviceable tool, but there's just not much to like, especially when you can get something like a RC-3 for $50 less.
btw, a recurve does not "lengthen" the edge, but effectively shortens it by forcing the material being cut into the forward curve so that a small portion of the edge does all the work. That's a good thing, because it makes for much better slicing on tough materials, and that knife is going to need all the help it can get.

Seriously tho, that knife u posted is pretty similar to a HEST. Same concept IMO etc. Id rather have a HEST . I AM NOT trying to start WS+S WW3 here....just saying.
