I was on the fence between this and a few others, but once I spoke with a couple real war veterans I was sold.  The blade arrived RAZOR sharp out of the box.  The grip is very comfortable and the weight is excellent.  It comes with a nylon sheath that works great, and has an extra pocket for a multi tool or possibly a magnesium striker.  The vet's I spoke with only retired their knives only after the grip wore out, which was after almost a decade of use.  Great Knife!
