Nice looking knife but too thick
I wanted to love this knife, it's the most expensive one I've ever bought. I was going off it's "camp" theme that touted it's small size yet effective blade, that would be suitable for all round camp use and light enough for backpacking. Yes it was light, sharp, and very strong with it's full tang, but it's thicker than average blade made cutting basic food times like apples and bread just plain cumbersome-cutting apples had me crushing them instead of nice neat slices and paring a potato had me worried I was going to cut a finger off. I gave the knife away because it wasn't good for most of what I use a camping knife for, and not any better than the other knives I carry. I camp in the backwoods 20-30 nights a year and typically bring an opinel #7 and a small red rikon paring knife that both are lighter, easier to use around camp, and though not as strong-also haven't broken either despite a decade of use. It's a great looking knife with a very high quality sheath, but useless for me and wish I'd never bought it. Perhaps as a hunting or skinning knife it may be more useful. I guess the name "camp" could have many possibilities, but none that worked for me.
