The steel maintains its edge through heavy use. The full tang construction gives me confidence in heavy tasks. The blade coating shows minor wear after heavy use. Can't imagine my gear without this knife now.

The blade geometry is ideal for outdoor tasks. The edge retention is better than any knife I've owned. I'll be recommending this to all my outdoor buddies.

The balance is perfect for precision work. The knife performs equally well in wet and dry conditions. The spine could be sharper for striking ferro rods. I'm blown away by the performance of this knife.

The sheath is well-designed and functional. The spine is thick enough for batoning but still slices well. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
