Really great!

This is a great knife! My first knives were all cheap lockbacks from walmart or ace. I'm 40 so internet shopping wasn't really a thing when I was the young. My first modern style knife was a Kershaw CQB(I think, the emerson wave style) D2 blade. I couldn't believe how long the edge held. Carried that for years and got a Spyderco S30V, mostly for the compression lock and I love it. But this knife is great, the Nitro V and 14c28n (same steel really) blades are amazing. There really is no reason to buy an expensive knife anymore unless you just want to. The fit and finish on this knife is as good as any company I would buy from. Can't say about the $400 dollar knives they're probably better but I'm not paying that much. In short the Drop Bear is as good as that $180 dollar knife you want but can't afford.
