I bought this last year just based on specs and price. I expected nothing but under $30 for D2, an axis style lock and g10? There's nothing to lose. I use this at work, it gets light to medium use and has been a champ. I can put a razor edge on it and the action is every bit as good as you'd expect from an axis style lock. This is a fantastic knife for a fantastic price. I even got a Snaggletooth for it to make it pocket open.
