No offense intended, but I don't have to look at the picture or handle the knife. I like Buck knives, I own some and have owned countless numbers of them and they are my favorite knives when buying lower cost knives. They hold an edge and have an excellent guarantee backing them. From looking at the price range, what steel it is made from, the fact that it is a liner lock, I would still save up and buy me another RSK MkI. I'm real happy with the one I have.
