I'll tell you that I treat this knife more as a collector's item, but it's definitely suitable for general use. I bought two different ones for myself: the green one glows a bit differently compared to the white one, actually it glows a bit less—the knife needs a lot of sunlight to shine beautifully. Personally, if there were a version with a well-shaped handle and a Kydex sheath, I wouldn't hesitate to buy such a model and use it. <3
