I find the Aviator to be an awsome little knife. I have not carried mine as I carry the shadow III usually. It has the same sheath as the shadow III and the same 4" blade length. I always prefer the spear point, but the Aviator has a nice small clip point. The saw teeth I always felt on crk's should be wider, but thats just me. Chris designed them to work on most materials and not just excel at one. You get a nice little hollow handle to boot as well. Picture this as a shrunk down Jereboam I or Mark IV. I think it has everything you would want in a small survival style knife. You get a nice sheath, hollow handle, saw back, clip point. What more could you want in a small survival knife. Plus the most important thing, you get CRK Legendary Design and Customer Service. You will not be dissappointed. Hurry and get one before they are gone !!!
