I have this exact knife and don't quite remember what I paid for it. I really like it. It weighs a bit. However, it opens and closes so easily. It has a very nice blade and it has that Italian heritage. The micarta is just fantastic. With this knife, one doesn't need to worry about having a clip. This knife is a must have for a collection that wasnts quality with variation for a really reasonable price. I'm surprised that the price doesn't go up. The collector community goes through stages where conservatism dominates. Conservatism in the case of this knife will lock anyone who doesn't get it out of a, "must have," for their collection. So useful, by the way.
