- An edge that just won't quit
- The blade on this knife is an absolute monster. I love the recurve design on fixed blade knives in general, but a recurve in a small design like this is a beast of an edc belt knife. I like to use this for stripping the bark off cedar tries for tinder, but it also does a good job of feather sticking, and it makes cord cutting look less like a chore and more like a forgettable activity.

- Tough Knife
- This knife is a tough knife and performs well as a camp knife. It was a little small for me, but my daughter who is in Scouts BSA absolutely loves it. (Posted on 8/6/2020)
