Amazon has it for $10.01 + free shipping via eCop. I've ordered from them twice with no problem. Massdrop does offer a nice community here, so it might be worth spending the extra buck and a quarter to support them. That's up to you.
Schrade knives are wonderful values for the money, but don't expect them to compare with $50+ knives. 3.5" blade is perfect length for me, but could be large for some. 9Cr18MoV is a modified 440B, higher end Chinese stainless steel that is FANTASTIC at this price point. It's a bit better at edge retention and more carbon content than 8Cr13MoV or 8Cr14MoV and still pretty easy to sharpen. I believe Schrade hardens this steel to around an HRC of 58-60. Knife is attractive with the sculpted aluminum scales, IMHO. A good buy if you want a basic knife. Lots of good reviews on it. It would also be a great first folder for someone who wants to take it apart to polish and tune up due to the good steel and low price.
If you are going to complain it doesn't stay clean and sharp all on it own, or that it doesn't have ball bearing pivot, or that you don't have the proper bit for the screws, please, just don't buy any knife. Stick to plastic cutlery.
Otherwise, enjoy your new, inexpensive workhorse of a knife.
