I would plan to spend some time filing or dremelling or sanding the handle to fit right in your hand. It's pretty blocky as is. But once you get that customized fit it is a great knife for woods use, etc. The sheath is kinda meh, but it works. Good value fixed blade.Note though, this is only $5-$10 cheaper than usual, it never sells for anywhere near $100.

They usually sell about $25 under MSRP, so around $90. I dunno that dremeling the micarta would be a good idea. Could permanently destroy the fabric. Instead, you might be better off trying some aftermarket scales.

Yup, this. I'm guessing you'd have to apply some kind of finish to reseal the micarta scales when you are done. And be careful not to blow them apart as you sanded past the factory finish to shape them.

Got this the last time it was on sale. Ended up returning. Sheath is terrible -- poor quality, knife gets caught on the draw and using the button clasp just felt awkward. The sheath would have been the first thing I replaced if I had kept it. Blade itself is fine, grip is functional, just felt like overall quality was mid-range, but probably worth it for the price (~50% off). I'm sure it'll work fine for the right buyer. Personally, it just didn't feel like a "deal", which is what I was looking for.
