Thoughts on Kunwu Padre value, quality and durability?

Considering getting the Kunwu Padre as my first ‘nice knife’

It ticks the boxes for me however I am wondering not what others think but the experience of people who have owned it.

Should I go for the stonewash version or not and where is the cheapest place to get one for someone in Australia?

To get it here currently it is around $450 AUD which is very steep
