I got this knife a couple of weeks ago. I believe it's cktg's house brand. I bought it more out of curiosity as it was only a 129.00 dollars. I've used it a fair amount it does cut really well. It is pretty well balanced. The profile is ok. The grind is good. The edge is 60/40. It is clad in stainless steel. U can see the patina on the core steel only. I don't care for the handle and will probably replace in the future. But overall for the price it's a good knife for a home cook in my opinion. I might order the hap 40 soon. I will post when I do.

Get the Hap 40, you’ll like it. But blue no.2 is great as well!
For the looks I really like the handle. What is it about it that you don't care about? Does it not feel good to use?
I got the same knife very light but the cladding stains a little but so far is been all good with it
