I've used my MPT-Ti for many different things. I live on a grain and cattle farm. I use it a lot cutting twines from around round bales (about 1,200 pound bales). Sometimes the twines are frozen in (rained on and then froze) and difficult to get out. I usually cut them low on one side and then go to the other side, wrap several around my knife near the choil and pull. I wouldn't attempt this with anything but a very strong knife that I was confident wouldn't break. At times I have left it in the tractor for extended periods of time after getting it wet and grimy. I wouldn't do that with any knife I wasn't confident wouldn't corrode. I've also used it to field dress a deer and for some minor chopping and other stuff. It did better than anticipated field dressing deer, but it wouldn't be my first choice for that. For chopping, its light weight doesn't really lend itself to chopping hard stuff. It does much better than you might anticipate chopping soft stuff like turnip tops off (maybe a function of speed enhanced by light weight). I'm not a big fan of the sheath it came with as it pulls up when withdrawing unless tied down to leg, but it isn't that bad and more sheaths seem to be going that direction. How well does it take and hold an edge? Someone else can probably better address that than I. I haven't conducted any side by side comparisons. There are some fairly detailed threads though on the Mission Knives forum over on another knife website. It wouldn't be my first choice for strictly cutting, but that is perhaps more a function of design and thickness than material. Overall, I like it.
