Just bought it yesterday from a fellow forum member. My first substantial purchase but it really caught my eye! Looking forward to many more!
 
My Cold Steel Long Hunter arrived yesterday.

I wanted an "everything" knife - food preparation & eating, leather work, wood work, trimming fingernails, dressing fish & game - everything I'd use a knife for, so a thin but fairly wide medium length blade, flat grind and low weight were needed together with low price (it's going to get used rather than treasured) and general useability. On the other hand I don't think I'll be needing to cut through a car roof with it, lever paint-pot lids off with it or take it fighting.

The money's definitely gone on the blade - beautifully finished and mainly shaving sharp. Just a bit of a go with the steel needed to make the thing a scalpel. The point is fine and would do for cutting thong slits or unpicking stitching. OK, the handle is an ugly block of rather slippery plastic. I whipped it with twine for most of the length visible above the drop-in sheath and that sorts out the grip nicely and adds a bit of a positive stop at the lip of the sheath. The handle's actually not that bad in use and is fine with the edge in any orientation.

The sheath's simple, cheap and well made. Certainly good enough for the job.

I've so far prepared dinner and lunch with it and made some bits of costume from thick leather, at which task it did very well.

Early to tell how good it'll be in the edge-holding game but when I was filing off the rather sharp edge of the ricasso, the steel did seem to be fairly hard.
 
Winkler Knives II belt knife. Curly maple handles, and a plain finish on the blade. Best knife ever. I will do a revew on it one I get more time in the field whit it.
 
Just sent the funds in for a Ray Laconico Tanto folder with orange g-10 slabs and 154cm steel! Cannot wait for it to get here.
