Well, after almost two weeks, The Jeff White Bush knife finally came in. It is exactly like the one pictured above and it did need a light stropping. I wanted SO MUCH to hate this knife after the bit of hassle over shipping but I can't. After the stropping I shaved some feather sticks and some light batoning to get to the dry center of a 3" piece of wood and it performed wonderfully. It is extremely light with 3/32 thick blade but I never felt like babying the thing. I used the back of the blade to fuzz up the center wood and then scraped the back on a ferro rod and got a fire started in less than 5 minutes. Then, I went to the kitchen and peeled an apple, cut up potatoes, carrots, celery, and tomatoes. I cut up some eye of round beef and some chicken and it was simply outstanding at every task I threw at it. I paid 45 bucks for this knife and it out performs every knife I own, some of which cost ten times that. It did not include a sheath and while I make my own kydex sheaths, I really want a leather sheath for this one. It truly is a superb knife. If you are on the fence about one of Jeff White's knives, and don't mind a couple of weeks wait, then by all means, pick one up. You will not be disappointed....Jim
