I bought this knife today because it seemed like such a great value. It has a nice thick stainless steel blade and full tang, oak handle, which is very ergonomic, with stainless steel rivets, and a thong hole in the handle. The blade is etched with a howling wolf scene, which is quite nice. Seems to be a very well made knife from China with the bargain price of $14.99. I'm thinking of doing a silver wire grapevine pattern inlay on the scales.
