Wow that is all very cool. Thanks for the feedback and reply! Having actually used it so much is there anything you would change about it?
I work a large ranch so I use it for a huge range of tasks besides the basic cutting open feed or soil bags like splitting fence rails and notching 2x4s or fence posts when building. I use the butt end as a hammer at times if I am to far from the barn to bother running for the proper tool, blade makes a great pry bar as well. Cutting tarps and ropes, talon holes for bending wire. It comes out of its sheath 15-20 times a day to be used and I never have to fear that its not up for the task. Plus I live in an area where at any point I may come up on an angry or startled bear, mountain lion or boar and having a solid knife at my side feels right
