You know this for the money is a good knife!

Hey,

For the $ this looks to be a bit of a bargain huh?  Nice kydex style sheath and
probably a great big, strong knife if your lookin' for one.

I may be wrong on this, but I think the SK5 version is made in Taiwan.
If I were to buy a RS, I would go for the San Mai VG1 version. Expensive, I know, but way better than the other one. And it's made in Japan.
Anyway, I don't like Cold Steel knives, but being a Fallkniven enthusiast, I appreciate CS simple and straightforward designs.

I'd say the SK5 steel is a safe bet, and has had a lot of positive reviews

I'd nab one if I didn't already have a Carbon V Traily
