If you look at

http://www.kershaw-knives.net/Kershaw-Antelope-Hunter-II-1028OR.php

it seems to be selling for twenty dollars.

Looks like a perfectly competent product, at that price I don't think you're going to be disappointed although the sheath might not be top notch. The steel is fine (if it really is what the adverts say it is). I might prefer something with a lanyard hole if I were worried about losing it. It would be interesting to know what the tang is like inside that moulded handle, maybe the manufacturer can show you a picture of one before the handle is moulded on.

I prefer a Mora 510 or 860. Just know the Mora will never let me down and cheaper than the Kershaw too.

I agree, plus I hate knives that have pre-moulded finger grips!!
