A version of this knife (with dimples and made from Tungsten) is on Amazon for $145, so not much of a savings here on MassDrop. This version is recommended by Thomas Keller and Eric Ripert.
You can check out The Sweethome for a detailed analysis, but I'd actually recommend the version off Amazon since it's only $20 more than the lowest MassDropped price.

rphungThe MTH-80 (8" w/ dimples) that goes for 145 on amazon is made from a different alloy entirely (MAC's Superior), and is also 1/2" shorter.
The knife in the drop is the MBK-85 , is better overall and longer. Dimples are not so great with MAC knives, and I always prefer the straight blade. And anyway, the only practical use is for cutting stuff that sticks to the blade, like 'starchy' food etc.
fyi, MBK-85 sells for 160 @ amazon http://amzn.com/B0017VK3UI
