Review: If an old style butcher knife and a kephart knife had a love child. - First a clarification as to why it's called a "sheath" knife, it's an old term and another name for a belt knife and is a way to differentiate it from what we today would call a "kitchen" knife, i.e. it's an outdoors knife meant to be carried in a sheath. The practical differences between this and say a paring knife is the grip, it's a much thicker, full size grip and the blade is slightly more broad ( the dimension from the spine to the edge).It looks like a small butcher knife because that's exactly what it is, a game possessing knife for when your not at your base camp. However it also makes a great bushcraft, hunting or outdoor utility knife, small and light( 3 oz.), full tang, high carbon steel with excellent blade geometry and good edge retention and a good size grip. The way it feels and performs reminds me a lot of a classic kephart knife, though with a butcher knife style tip ( good for skinning game). Besides not coming with a sheath the main drawback most people might have is it's blade thickness, 1/16th of an inch. But in this case this is a matter of personal taste, I think too many SMALL knives today are ridiculously over built and are either way stronger than they need to be or are compensating for poor craftsmanship and/or materials. This knife is as strong as your ever going to need it to be, made of good steel with excellent craftsmanship it might not be able to dig a trench, stab through a steel door or pry a car trunk open but it can do whatever tasks you need done with a small knife( yes even being batoned no problem). The trade off is that this knife is fantastic at cutting things, something that seems to get overlooked in today's cutlery market. If you want a small, light, strong, well designed knife great for cutting then this is a good choice. If you want small sharpened pry bar/entrenching tool this is not a good choice.
