A great knife for EDC - it's small and light, fits in the pocket, but at the same time has a very capable blade like a reall knife :) Also great when complected with Ulticlip 3.3, but you will have to remove a firesteel. Came very sharp and still is after making a wooden spoon. But you have to understand that blade geometry overall is not too good for working with wood, much harder to cut in than with scandi blades. But makes really thin feather sticks, if that's what you need)) Major drawback of this knife (for myself) is volume of the handle - it is just too thin. I have quite narrow hands 90mm and length wise the handle fitted just fine, but I added a paracord lanyard that adds some comfort. Unfortunately with my 205mm long hand I lack volume to grab for convenient prolonged cutting/carving works. So I added a nr.II paracord wraping around the handle. You can also find custom scales that are formed with additional volume, but I could not find them in EU. If you do not plan to perform some long time works with the knife and/or you have shorter palms then original handle could be just fine and will keep the knife in super lightweight category.
