I too own the Brute. I love the knife. It has been throughout the greater Upstate NY area. From clearing a one acre field for camp, to clearing a four mile, hardly used truck-trail to GET to the acre, the knife NEVER disappointed! In fact, I no longer refer to it as a knife...I ask for it by NAME. In the Navy, they call the diesels on Subs CLYDE, due to its toughness and reliability...SO I CALL MY BRUTE CLYDE!
"Pass me CLYDE, man!"
