I have an RTAK and love it, so when the TAK came out I jumped on it quick. I think it's one of the best fixed blade designs on the market today. The blade is shaving sharp, but not too thin for serious field use. Some folks have mentioned that it's seems too heavy, but it doesn't feel that way to me. It's a solid fealing knife with a very comfortable green Micarta grip and a very versatile blade shape. The Cordura sheath is well made and allows ambidextruous carry and retains the knife tightly. Personally, I'd prefer a Kydex sheath, but the one supplied with the knife does the job. What can I say, get the knife! You won't be disappointed.
