It does look nice. I plan to get one for my step-son just as a good handy knife. He is not kilted yet. Says made in China and I am not surprised. The Colt name is licensed. I don't think they even exist as a firearms manufacturer any more. Interesting thing is that the blade and scabbard stay together by magnetism. I have seen them on several knivfe sites and even in the Smoky Mountain catalog. For those prices if it cuts at all and does not look awful cheap it is worth it.
