Desperado, I have that exact model, green plastic handle with the green plastic sheath, from SG, based on a recommendation on another forum.

It is, as stated, very sharp right out of the packaging, and obviously good steel. Seems to me it's cheap because that handle and sheath are bottom rung. It has been suggested that it be bought for the blade, the plastic removed and tossed, and new handle sheath created/bought.

But I keep it as is, if (or when) the handle does break, I'll deal with it then.
