I have been waiting for a knife like this from Emerson. Now that Christmas is over, I snagged a SF. I am a avid outdoorsman/hunter and the blade shape and specs on the new Journeyman looks outstanding for a EDC. I field dressed many deer with the CQC 11 and it did a hell of a job even with the re curved blade. The Journeyman should be even better and should skin very well. Expect a review after I put this new knife through its paces :thumbup:
