I really like the knife. Definitely built sturdy with smooth action and response. Gotta be careful closing with one hand at first, you might get bitten. If you are gifting this to someone (which would be a great gift to give at any price range) I would recommend purchasing in advance. A gift card may be an option if you are forgetful or want to personalize with a monogram. I purchased for myself and will not hesitate to purchase again in the future. Worth the wait.
