I have had this knife for a couple months now and I have used it a lot. I had held up really well! I have tested the tip a lot it is very strong. I have done batonning, chopping, stabbing, feather sticking, sharpening sticks, and more this knife has not failed. I am planning on getting the Seal Pup Elite because if it's anything like the seal pup I will like it! The sheath has held up well as well.
