I don't have this knife, but I own other QSP knives and they are really good quality. Looks like this particular model may be discontinued as I can't find it on Amazon. Seems to run anywhere from $30-$45 on sights that have it in stock. 14C28N is an excellent mid-tier stainless steel. Per KnifeInformer.com:
"14C28N [knifeinformer.com]
EDGE RETENTION: 4 CORROSION RESISTANCE: 6 EASE OF SHARPENING: 6 (ratings out of 10)
The 14C28N stainless steel from Swedish manufacturer Sandvik is considered an upgrade to their 13C26 described below. In fact, Kershaw asked Sandvik to make their 13C26 steel more resistant to corrosion and the result was 14C28N. In the lab you'll find slightly more chromium and less carbon in the 14C28N but the real secret is the addition of Nitrogen which promotes corrosion resistance. Overall a very impressive mid-range steel that can be made extremely sharp. Arguably the best budget knife steel and quite possibly the best steel you'll find on a sub-$30 production knife."
