Any comments????

I wouldnt use it for anything but cutting. While it is a sexy fighting blade I wouldnt beat on it or put lateral stress on it in any fashion.

RIght tool for the job.

I agree to a point. It'll handle lite wood working and other wilderness chores, but you might not be able to do any seriously heavy work with it.

need a knife no longer than 10in.-10.5in in o/v length that could do all camp chores and chopping power.
price up to $350.00.....

How about a Wilson Model 1 ? Much thicker.

I know I want one of those.:thumbup:

I like the Swamp Rat RW aka Ratweiler or CAmp Tramp aka CT among other makes. FIts your bill perfect and is well under $350 and a BOMB proof warranty.

Some friendly folks on their forum can help you out.

From what has been said I'm assuming it's hollow ground. I would stay away from hollow grinds in a large camp/chopper blade. IMHO, it's to weak for hard use.

It's probably my favorite user Busse. Great all around camp chore knife, and the best warranty on the planet.
