This knife is my go to camping, hunting, fishing fixed blade.  I like the steel, it's pretty hard and keeps an edge.  The powder coat has stayed more intact then I expected.  Serrations are useful and easy to sharpen with a rod (ceramic is best).  Feels great in the hand (light, grippy when wet, lots of room) and I like that you can choke up on it a bit for added control. Think of this tool or weapon as a diving knife meets a fighting knife... designed for Seals.. nuff said.  Very dependable.
