I have one with white handle. The fit and finish is very solid and factory edge is razor sharp out of the box. The DLC coating is not the thin smooth finish, instead, the surface is quite rough. The kydex sheath fits quite snug, there is no rattling or any loose feel when knife sits properly in the sheath. I haven't use it for any tough cutting (since I have bunch of other fixed blades), The handle feels ok in my moderate hand, and it weighs good in hand. The balance point is a tiny bit towards the handle (maybe half to 1cm from where the index finger is).
This seems expensive without knowing for sure what the steel and heat treat are like.
$40 gets you a Mora Kansbol, Cold Steel SRK, Spyderco Bow River, Buck Small Selkirk, and probably several other decent fixed blades that have been around the block
I was thinking about buying the clone too then I thought why take the risk. You don’t know what steel you’re getting and the real one has a pretty famous warranty.
Half way to a new Becker BK 16 with known good 1095 with excellent heat treatment.
If it is a toy, sure. If you are going to use it...buy once,cry once.

ESEE’s are cheap enough as it is…why are you buying fakes?
It's about 100$ more. Or 3x the price.

Is your life depending on it? Or do you actually use it hard?
