Very nice. Is this a knife I would choose to take into the back country with me? No! It is not a practical survival knife: too big and heavy (nice for cutting branches and other heavy work perhaps, but a pain to carry); not made from top grade steel; the guard would be getting in the way a lot (it's the one thing about this knife's design I'm not real keen on).

Then why 5 stars? It's a beautiful piece of work, especially for the money. I collect knives, and most of my collection will never see any real work. This is one of those. But it isn't a cheap, shiny piece of junk. It is well made, substantial, and could be used as a working knife if you wanted to. One of my top 3 (and the other 2 are much more expensive).

Got this knife for this year's camping season in Oregon. We're out 2-3 times a month, minimalist camping and also group camping. The knife was bigger and heavier than expected, but has performed well. It can take out 2 in branches and harvest materials for shelters, slice through a pork shoulder, or handle most camp or survival needs. May need a baton to go through larger pieces, or chop wood into kindling. Handle pounds tent stakes well. This is sure to be a main feature in our core camping supplies, and we look forward to future use.

it met and exceded all my expectations, the sheath is really nice, hand grips is phenominal for a man with big ole hands, and the angle on the edge is just right!(for experienced sharpeners) but it comes sharp already, the only thing negative i can say about purchasing this knife is that i didnt get 2 of them!!!!!
