Excellent blade! The fit and finish is fantastic and the thickness is awesome. I was afraid the scales would be too tactical for me, but they are not. I made a few modifications to the scales to recess the hex heads and I took off a couple of sharp edges.

I've been battling with myself over this knife. It's yet another knife I don't need, but really would like to have. :D
 
I have one of those too. It's pretty cool. If I ever need to shank somebody "fo realz", it will be one of the very first knives I reach for. :D When you have one of those things in your fist, you can absolutely feel what it was designed for. If any of my knives deserve the moniker "weapon", it's that one. Nasty things, those.

I have a feeling it might not make a bad field knife, either. That big swedge limits it a little bit, but I'm sure it would work just fine. :thumbup:
