Pretty good. Great value for money, however, the knife doesn't seem very sharp. Having said that, it does chop through ropes under tension well. If you can't afford a Gerber, then buy this knife.
Admin: This is not intended as a general use knife – it is for ‘slashing’ in an emergency (netting/sails/ropes) . Making it super sharpe is no problem (you could do this yourself) - but this has an impact on it being 'less safe' in an emergency and making it less resistant to corrosion. Thanks for your comments though :)
p.s. Used it to go through some 18mm mooring line - which a standard brand new Stanley blade was making hard work. So I think this counts as being handy for general use too!

I bought one for me and my crew - and it was still less than a Gerber - can't see why the Gerber is so expensive.
