I have one from the first year they came out. It's a fairly tough, no frills tool. Mine rides in my car kit, and I wouldn't be unwilling to use it to dig holes or otherwise abuse it. However, if I had any need for a fixed blade for daily carry, I'd likely look for something a bit nicer.

It's actually not too badly balanced for throwing fast-ball style, and the tip has held up well even under that kind of punishment.
