I waited a long time to get this knife because it was always out of stock. I'm truly glad that I waited though because it is one of the best knives I've ever purchased! The quality and craftsmanship are evident throughout the knife. When you hold it you know your holding a beast of a knife. Perfectly balanced and opens with a resounding flap, that only an HT-2 makes. I have to admit I was a little disappointed though that it only came in a cardboard box with no zippered case or cleaning cloth. I've bought other Mr. Blade knives and they have come with those. It just may be that the HT-2 is so big that they don't give you anything else with it. Overall though, it is a great knife. I highly recommend it! russianknives.com is a great site with a wide selection and fast shipping. If you have any questions, Vlad will personally answer you quickly and professionally. Go to his site and buy something, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Paul
