Tons of excess filework, odd textures (rough places) and it's just over the top in color. It's carbon, and will get a little rusty after just being carried for a day. I oil the thing constantly. No other knife I own rusts like it does. Normally, I carry my 40+ year old Shrade LB7, and not worry about rust.
