Just received mine. In person, the blade doesn't look as polished or refined as the photos show, but its still decent quality for the price. Arrived sharp and the action was smooth. Got even more smooth after a little break in period. Can't beat the value here. This knife holds its own against a SOG of similar dimensions and matetials (VG-10, g10, etc). this will probably end up as a starter knife for my cub scout.
Vanguard17Unless your kid has maybe hands, they likely wouldn't be able to carry it in scouting functions. Last I knew, the rule was the blade can't be longer than the width of the palm.
