The Pasayten is an excellent knife for a general-use camp knife---about the most useful blade length possible with quality 154CM stainless steel, a beautifully conducted flat grind, ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing handles, a pretty good sheath, made in America. I pulled the trigger on mine because I could hardly pass up a deal when I saw one. You won't regret buying this one; it's an excellent all around cutter and belt knife. Steven Dick is a knowledgeable and well-articulated man, as evinced by his articles in Tactical Knives and other publications.
