Glad you guys like it, it is for sure a beast and I love it. It took me a while and changing my mind many times along with a lot of back and forth with Bryan and a ton of input from him and ideas from other knives mainly ones Bryan made.
I took it to one of my overnight classes I taught and everyone wanted to hold it and play with it and everyone loved it and really were amazed at how versatile it was esp for a knife so large. The way the handle is made you can choke up on it and it seems like the knife is a small blade you can do finer work easily with, or slide your hand down to the end and chop threw logs like it was a hatchet. And the saw is awesome for notching and making traps, I collected a bunch of sticks to make a few different kind of traps and I made them in about 1/3 of the time it would take me if I had to carve notches. The thing with the tops version is evrytime I see the saw being use it fills up with wood shavings after a couple strokes. The saw Bryan puts on self cleans amazingly, no matter how much you saw not one single piece of wood dust stays in the saws teeth. If it was a thinner piece of steel I guarantee you could actually use it to saw threw stuff as opposed to just notching. I'm actually thinking about getting one made that's a smaller version with thinner metal, everything will be exactly the same as mine except it'll be a few inches shorter and a bit thinner.
The one thing I have yet to try is the wire breaker at the tip but I know a spot where I'm taking some clients this weekend with an old downed wire fence and I'm gona see how it works on some thicker barbed wire, I'll let everyone know how she does.
