I'm putting this thread here because although the knife featured is a fancy, single bladed, utility knife, it can be used for multi-purposes with the change of blade types.
I've noticed over the last few years that the common ole utility knife is taking on more of a conventional look. I picked up a few of these knives while shopping some time back and they have come in handy for various purposes.
With the blade shown, it can be used for a multitude of purposes but if a roofers blade (rounded instead of pointed) is inserted in lieu of the utility blade, it makes a very fine skinning knife. I've used mine to skin squirrels and rabbits. It only takes a couple of seconds to change the blade and saves sharpening time and sharpening hassle in the field.
With the wood handles, it looks very nice and it is well made. It comes with a nice little sheath but when carrying it in the field, I just drop it in my back pocket along with my comb.

The lockup is solid but there's quite a bit of blade play in the holder. Overall I think it's a nice tool. Does the Craftsman have a lot of blade play also? I may pick up the Craftsman the next time that I'm in the "city".
