M S Wannabe-
As a newbie, we want to welcome you to the BladeForums, and I highly reccomend this knife. I have the serrated Native, and my plain edge should be here in 2 or 3 days. It is well made, and stout 3" blade.Being 440-V steel is very sharp,as I along with someone else who posted, has already been initiated by a slight cut.
Excellent knife for the money. But if you buy, make sure you get the BF Native so you can get the 440-V steel. You won't regret it.
