Finally took this out on the trail w/ me today. It didn't get into rotation sooner 'cause I have a bunch of others that say 'bushcraft' or something of that ilk in the name Anyway, this is nice to use for drilling, shaving firesticks, carving wood and slicing up my peanubutter and honey sandwich. Actually this knife kinda baffled me as I have a couple of other Morris knives, one of which was custom ordered to my specs as a 'bushcraft' type knife w/ spear point and similar overall dimensions to this knife. It too came shaving sharp. This one cuts better and I think it is due to the wider fuller handle. It is just easier to handle/manipulate and direct the force of the knife where I want. It wasn't all perfect as I was suspicious of the drastic taper at the end of the handle, but I drilled a lanyard hole and w/ the lanyard in it feels great. Anyway Michael's blades and edge holding are spot on as I usually have to touch up after an outing, but this one still slices paper cleanly. His blades w/ this type of beefier handle are awesome.:thumbup: I dub this the 'Bushamacallit'!
