Let me start with, I am not into the endless flipping of butterfly knives. I like them for their practical nature. The flipping gets boring quickly. With that, this seems quite solid and fair for the price. It isn't exquisite but would be great for what I want, which is a decent working butterfly that isn't deep into the hundreds in cost. The 1095 steel sold me over some others available here. If you want a knife and not a fidget spinner, this isn't bad at all.
