I gave this to my 12 year old son as his first "real" knife. He was thrilled and has taken very good care of it. He knows what not to do and how to use a knife and he was very pleased with how this felt so sure-gripped in his smaller hand. I would have liked to given him an American-made one but, there wasn't any here for the same value. For the money, this Chinese-manufactured knife fit the bill.

This knife looks great, but it cracked around a screw within two weeks of using the knife-disappointing...
