This is a very impressive knife, well worth even double the cost - VG-10 steel, while not a supersteel like Bohler M390 or CPM 20CV, IS high-end Japanese cutlery grade steel, right up there with 154CM. The liner lock engages well (neither early nor late) at 40% on the blade, there's no lock rock or side-to-side blade wiggle. The quality G10 scales line up nicely with the solid stainless liners and the thumbstuds deploy the blade quickly without requiring any wrist, and this is out of the box with just a few dozen openings for break-in.The blade has a small but well-formed sharpening choil and the the hollow ground blade is very thin behind the edge - it's quite sharp out of the box and is a good slicer.
The spike is well formed and polished, and the end is slightly rounded so as to pry open knots without piercing the actual rope strands. It locks open solidly(just a hint of wiggle, no more) and snaps shut with authority when released with the lanyard loop.
People should stop with the ad-hominem attacks on Chinese knives - The Chinese will make crap if you pay for crap, and they make high-end, super quality cutlery (We, Reate, CKF- which uses both Russian and Chinese build resources) if you pay for quality. Strangely enough, Ganzo knives, which are cheap as dirt Chinese-made knives, have excellent build quality with G10 scales and good 440C blades, so there's that as well
Even though Camillus is a bit of a Zombie brand (former US brand that sold off their name to to some holding company),this particular item is a quality knife, period. Don't let anyone who doesn't have one in hand tell you otherwise.
Where do you see that this knife is VG10? Also, even if it were "double the cost," it would still be a cheap knife - both price and quality.
"VG-10" is stamped on the blade tang, about 1/4" from the sharpening choil. Speaking of which, my particular instance of this knife (albeit a sample size of 1) is of manifestly high quality - what specific issues have you noticed with your instance of this knife?
If you buy a $17 knife, expect a $17 knife.
