This is a lot of knife for under $50.  The blade is thick and feels very strong.  The blade comes extremely sharp right out of the box.  I gently ran it on my arm and all the hair fell right off!  The handle is a little small and for those with large hands, it may be too small but I didn't have any problems with it.  The nylon sheath is very nice and has a plastic insert inside for the blade so that the blade won't cut the nylon sheath when inserting or removing.  The blade is made in Taiwan...  I felt I made a good purchase!
