Seems like a good candidate for hard use, work, or self defense. Other considerations are CS Voyager 4"(tanto), Byrd CaraCara FRN/G10, Spyderco Tenacious and the like. My EDC currently is a Camillus Heat. I love it, but I feel I'm pushing it a bit. any input would be greatly welcomed. Thanks in Advance, Jace/Ihop
