To be honest, I always like to see a good hand made knife, but on the cost side, Knives of half the price and less are just as practicable. I remember a few years back I got 1 of Midnight's blades very good knife, but did it do anything that my other knives had not done before? nope and they to expensive to lose, and feck me I've lost a few over the years. Last shooting show I was at a guy was selling his £200 + lot of money for opening rabbits and deer and a bit of whittling.
