Summary
Really great camping knife.
Pros
- Large yet delicate
- Finger groove
- Great quality
- Nice handle
Cons
- Not serrated
I have had my eye on this knife for a while now, and finally got one at the beginning of last summer. I didn't really get it as a hunting knife, or a survival knife, which to me is not its purpose (hunting, maybe, survival, no).
To me it is the camping kitchen knife. Beautiful and sturdy with a sharp blade and sexy handle. It is almost like a fine member of the sex you are attracted to. It cups up summer sausage, scrambles eggs, opens bacon, flips fish (and guts them) like a champion!
The sheath is a great quality leather also, really nice and soft. The wood on the handle is a synthetic hardwood called "pakka" wood, which I must say is really great. Pakka is a composite wood and shares all the properties of a normal hardwood. The knife itself is made in China (yeah yeah) but that has no impact on its overall quality.
Overall, it is a beautiful addition to any collection and is well balanced and carries great curves.

This style of belay devices is named after this product. It's the Q-tip of climbing. I think my ATC came with a big belay locking carabiner back when I bought it. Read More »
