Review 1:

Headline: Good user knife in the woods.

Pros: Materials , Handle Material , Blade Material , Finish , Weight , Overall Quality , Blade Sharpness

Cons: Sheath/Scabbard ,

Great feel in the hand and proven materials for wilderness use. A good amount of heft really improves it's hacking ability on small to medium size wood processing tasks. It batons fairly well although the grind was not designed for such a task. The leather sheath has very limited attachment options the belt loop is huge so it slides around on your belt and there are no lashing points along the length of it. The stacked leather handles will soak up lots of water if you do not treat them with a protective substance but they look amazing and really give the handle a great rustic feel to it so having to treat the leather is a small price to pay. Overall great blade but the sheath is annoying so go with the kydex.
