This is an excellent knife. I use this more than my ESSE-3MIL. I've used this extensively for everything from skinning to basic bushcraft for the last few months. The opener and pry bar are very well thought out and functional. Small items like fishing hooks can be stored in the handle, but be aware of rattles they may cause. The blade itself has held an edge very well, and the whole design is heavy duty but not oversized or too heavy. The sheath is great if you plan to attach it to a pack but I don't particularly care for it when it's on my belt. That's my only complaint.
