I've owned this knife, or a very similar model, for about 15 years. Was to be my deer hunting knife. Found it to be a bit undersized for my liking (so picked up a larger model Buck) but it works. The blade is stout and holds good edge. I sharpen with a Lansky sharpener and it sharpens easily. Far too thick a blade for filet work as it has zero flex. This knife is always in my pack or on my belt for "just in case" situations. Light and small but it has guts...
