This is a well produced knife, there is no doubt.
I have one and other than having a better sheath made for it I've got no complaints. Very, very sharp right out of the box.
Good friend of mine just returned from Jordan/Syria tour. He carried / used one over there. He's very pleased and offers he carriend it daily, on mission and used it for near everything appropriate.
Spyderco offers they are updating / correcting the original sheath design (primarily interior synthetic "sleeve" which was not so hot).
It may go all Kydex as is the new Pigmy Warrior's sheath.
