I'm planning to buy this knife and I know it has been discontinued. I know about a shop where I live that has it. I just want to know what people here think about it as a survival knife, especially when it comes to its chopping and batoning performance. I know the blade is pretty thin, like 3mm. I have the Aqua Salt and the Pacific Salt and have quite a lot of experience with H-1 steel. The corrosion proofness is also one thing that attracts me to the Rock Salt and also its slight kukri-like recurve, and its look of course. Any owners who have some thoughts about it?:)
 
It's lighter than I expected, really comfortable. Only handled, though, so I cannot tell you much about anything else.

It's too light to be a good chopper at its size. Works okay for batoning.

Agreed. I have on that I have beating on for a couple of years now and it is a fantastic camp/kitchen knife. It handles light chopping ok, but is not ideal. The light weight and thin blade hinder it in this capacity. For most general outdoor duties OTHER THEN chopping though, it's fantastic. Go for it!
