At first I was disappointed that it is no longer full flat ground but then I noticed that the saber grind reduced the price. In a knife this size, I am not so worried about a thin flat grind because I am not going to be slicing up apples with it. If it reduces the price, it is worth it IMHO.

When compared to the SOD knife, it is thinner and looks like a better stabber. I don't really have a use for a stabbing knife. I don't really have a use for it but I have been waiting for so long I am going to buy one anyway.
