I 've seen a few come up for sale lately and they are catching my interest. My question to those who have handled one or own one what are your impressions? Hows the balance? How does the handle feel? Does that slight point in the grip cause any issues? Good chopper or slicer? Or mediocre all a rounder? Thanks for your input.

Well balanced blade, surprisingly light for it's size but still feels like it would be a decent chopper. The hump in the handle isn't a bother at all, matter of fact it makes it more ergonomic IMO. I was worried it would bother me but I really like it.

The blade shape is just awesome, and while sharp it's a bit thick for a slicer. I believe it could chop fairly well but tends more towards the fighter/all arounder than the big thick chopper.

The only thing I don't really care about is the skull crusher pommel. It's neat but I could live with or without it, either way.

Overall a very cool knife IMO and one of the best blade grinds I think I've ever seen.
