Does this make you worry?

They could've made lanyard storage simpler by adding a narrower section toward the butt, and wrapping in the usual direction (i.e. top-to-bottom). That way it would have still been a full-tang.

I'd like to see the Skyline pattern scaled up by 10-20%, and made into a fixed blade. That would work well for general or bushcraft use, and the modern look of stainless with G-10 would attract the tactical market.

Fortytwoblades, I'm not attacking you or saying you called me a fanboy, I'm just trying to make it clear that I try not to blindly support any knife company without facing reality.

I think Kershaw makes some great, innovative products, but they have their share of hits and misses like anyone else. I agree that the jimping id excessive. The cutaway makes a weak point, but that "weak point" isn't much worse than a lot of accepted designs with stick tang construction. Sure, you may not be able to baton it, but not everyone will use it that way.

I only referenced Busse because they are know for making overbuilt knives that a lot of folks consider to be a good wilderness/bushcraft knife.

Ok, gotcha! :) The quotation just made it confusing. And in terms of batoning...if you do it right you can baton with an Opinel! So you could with this one too...you would just have to be careful. ;)

I'll second that! They really have something with the skyline. I wish they offered it with a flat grind though.
