This is a sweet little knife for the money. I bought it for a throw away knife for my GHB and it surpassed my expectations. I own lots of high quality expensive knives including ESEE TOPS and several Kabars Condors and Cold Steels and some customs. This is as fine of a blade as anyone could ever need. Pair this little sucker up with a machete and you will be set! Don't try to baton with it but it's a great hiking and camping knife.
