Wow, that's a really great design!
I think like so many other folks, that the full handle and the pointy, compact blade make it perfect as a carver/whittler. And with that blade length you could carry it just about anywere. As a companion knife to a larger tool, that blade length is spot on. I probably wouldn't use it in the kitchen much, but as a small game, bushcraft, EDC, utility blade it would be fantastic.
