The 3V steel in any knife is very good.....So for a knife under $200 this one is a good choice......
With time and patience, I just picked up a used Puukko 3V with the leather sheath, for well under this threads $200...actually under $75...
Don't ignore the Manly Patriot CPM 154 for under $110 either....FYI, the Manly Patriot in D2 steel is under $75.
For those of you on a budget, there are lots of knives with great steel out there, and under $200, they are just not a beautiful as a $400-$500 ones, but the steel still performs the same.
Good luck,
