a really nice knife that was useful there
Despite it being stolen a few days ago, I just came back from a month using this in a Honduran rainforest. Generally, a really nice knife that was useful there. For the details..... I agree with another reviewer that the handle feels smaller than it should. My palm took up the entire space so I would like a bit more for leverage. The grip is slippery as I often worked outside in rain storms and needed better grip. The only other issue seemed to be soft metal.... I used a rock to hit the hilt and it easily smoothed out, wiped off the black color, and warped the metal. With that said, the blade itself stayed sharp, sharpened easily, and tore through vines/wood with general ease. The weight is solid and helpful. Yes, this chops down trees, and it's this reason I wanted a longer handle as it could slip out of my hands. The sheath is nice, but the top velcro loop couldn't stand up to a month of use - it was decimated by the time I was done (it's far too short). In short, I would still recommend this.
