Perfect deer skinning knife - Benchmade Water Intersect Fixed Blade Knife

Knife feels good and natural in the hand, like an extension of your body. I will probably use this knife more on land than water I like the size of the blade for skinning deer. The blade did not come factory shaving (however plenty sharp) like most of the Benchmades I have purchased in the past and once I dull it up I’ll try my hand at sharpening this steel. I like the sheath, however not really fond of the strap that goes around the handle, a little difficult to get the knife in the sheath and then snap the strap with one hand. I would have really liked to see the same sheath design but incorporated a button release like the larger fixed blade, but that just my preference. My thought may change once I get in the field and really use it. All in all you will not be disappointed.
