The Bushfinger, "Honduran Rosewood over black with a lime green pinstripe, Tapered Tang, Convex on 1/8” thick steel" arrived today. I’m stunned at what a beautiful piece of work it is. I bought it with the thought that I don’t care what it cost, I’m still going to take it out in the woods bash the heck out of it; it’s a tool after all. Now that I’m holding it in my hand it’s so sublimely beautiful that I’m not sure I will be able to treat it like an ESEE or even a Bark River. I have a KE Bushie, that is a wonderful knife, but it does not inspire the kind of reverence that this knife does and I feel no compunction about smacking it with a baton. This Bushfinger is so wonderful that I’m afraid to even leave it in the kitchen because my Wife might put it in the dishwasher.
To all of you who wanted a 1/8” taper tang saber ground Bushfinger, sorry but I’ve got it and I’m not parting with it. Another my come up, but this one is going to my heirs.

Can't ask for nicer words than that. Use the knife though. It'll age prettier and prettier, and have stories to tell those generations to come.
I agree with Andy. You don't have to beat on it for the sake of beating on it, but you should use it at least some and develop some memories to pass down to go along with the heirloom. It will just make it that much more special.
