It's a beast! I purchased this to use as a everyday carry utility. It does an awesome job! With a cover on, it fits in my pocket nice being so thin. I use it to open boxes/bags, cut butcher twine, cryo bags, cheesecloth and just random jobs. I even went as far to turn a potato with it (just stick with the birdbeaks!). Just a fun knife for a great price, I feel like everyone should have one! I would be really curious to see once with a 50/50 grind on it.....maybe awesome?!
Cheers!
