Is your nickname, perchance, "fingers"?
I would be hesitant about using that knife in any circumstances. certainly would choose just about any knife over it. it looks downright dangerous. but if you like it, well, good luck sir, you are a braver man than I.
Fortune favors the bold!!!
This knife has been my beater blade around the yard for over a year now. Underneath the wrapping, a good portion of the edges belly is missing. Broken off along w/ the handle during some batoning. Despite this, it still see's action. Eventually I'd like to rehab it into a neck knife.
I have no worries about getting cut by that beater. But I do like the nickname "fingers" though.
