DaveH:
I have an Ubejane. Love the looks of it, but I got it too late to do anything this season.
However, it looks like it will do very well. The shape of the blade is fine, it will follow my finger around with no problem. It also has enough mass for chopping when you need to.
Like all Chris Reeve stuff that I own, I anticipate more than satisfaction, I expect that I will be delighted.
