OT - Any experience with a Serbian Chef Knife?

These have caught my eye lately, don't really need it, but then again...

Just wondering if anyone has one and what their take is on it?  Is it uber-sharp and cool, or is it gimmicky & clunky, or... 
Do you find it to be really be multi-purpose or is it lacking in some other aspect?  Does it gain you an advantage over a regular chef's knife somehow? And what about maintenance- is it hard to keep clean from rust, is it easy to keep sharp, etc?

Prices & quality seem to be all over the board, but the Almazan brand seems to be one of the more known brands.  

So, what say ye?

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    For me it would probably be cool to collect and use when I had company over (pine for those days), but I would would keep grabbing one of my ultra sharp, ultra light japanese knives for daily use.

    I bought one for about 1/5 of that price. I like it a lot, but its not my daily use knife. I probably use it most for cutting through chicken bones/chicken. 

     Pretty easy to take care of too - wash, dry immediately, and put back in its blade cover before caliqueen hurts herself with it :)

    Carbon or Stainless Steel?  And is the 'back' of the blade where your index finger would be straight or curved ?

    Here are a couple of pics. 


    I forgot to weigh it, but I can do that when I get home.
