I think the Launch is a great knife, I like it better than my Microtech. Can't beat the price with a stick! I have two, they are superb IMHO

Holy crap they list the blade steel as CPM-154...is that actually the case?!?!?! If so that is a ridiculously good price!
(For anyone wondering, CPM-154 [CPM-154CM] uses a different steelmaking method than 154CM resulting in a steel that is different from regular 154CM. CPM-154 has considerable toughness that allows it to be hardened beyond what 154CM generally is, resulting in a knife with high wear resistance and considerable toughness & chip resistance. I have a Kershaw Spec Bump in CPM-154 and IMO I do not have many other stainless blades with comparable chip resistance.)
