Honestly I got this knife to abuse in bushcraft and in special operations. I wanted something I didn't feel bad about beating on. This knife is tough, it has a hard plastic handle that has excellent ergonomics, I think it would be a little better if it were rubberized, as it is a hard zytel type plastic, and can be a little slick. The knife shape has a deep belly and good balance. The knife is a work horse, holds an edge great and excels as a chopper or survival / bushcraft role. It does not have a squared off spine, so using it to strike fire steel may need a minor mod. The sheath in this set is excellent, well fitted for heavy retention, its a combo of kydex and heavy nylon, with Mol'e attachment points. One thing about this blade, it's handle is contoured similar to a kitchen knife or something like that, it is oddly alluring though, and I like its overall feel and performs like a champ.
Pros:
- makes a good hard working blade, price, great sheath, tuffer finish, good balance
Best Used for:
- camp knife/bush craft/survival
Would recommend: Yes

Big knife, hefty handle (which I like, also like big handles on tennis racquets and ping pong handles). All of a sudden, handles on my other knives feel too small! Came sharp right out of the box. Plastic sheath has retaining clips which I didn't care for, so I cut those off. CRKT makes good knives, this one's no exception. Would've preferred leather sheath, why took one star off. Otherwise excellent buy, should last a lifetime.

This knife has a good balance and comes razor sharp. It is a large knife that would be great for skinning deer, hogs moose,caribou and elk. It has a carbon steel blade that will hold an edge. easy to sharpen compared to stainless blades. This knife was built by Ken Onion. Great knife at a low price.
