Let's hear

There isn't much I like about it.

That handle shape always cramps my hand, the grind is far too short/abrupt, the screw driver pommel is gimmicky, the double edge makes it useless for batoning, the pot holder notch or by their description worst saw ever designed isn't too hot either.

The choil looks handy, bow drill pivots are fun, and Tops knows how to HT 1095 well.
 
Andy designed the knife and has some videos of him using and reviewing the knife. In his hands it is more than capable. I believe he took South America on his Bushcraft Global trip with Joe Flowers as well.
 
Yeah you can get it so there is now blade on the backside. And I'd love to try one out to see how well it swings

Beat me to it. Except from looks alone I drew the same conclusions. Goofily shaped handle, the one tooth sawback, the extraneous hole in the blade, etc etc

"The notch on the spine of the blade is used for scoring materials to create a weak point to break, as well as break wire by work hardening it, and pulling pots and similar items out of a fire."
From Tops website.
 
Well it wasn't that much so I grabbed it will do a full review once I put it to the test on our hiking trip next month.
