Very comfortable knife tough as a tank. Very large but expected.Very thick, strong, and sharp blade. Well-balanced and very comfortable to grip and use. Would recommend this knife to anyone seeking an all-purpose, survival-type knife for the woods. A vastly superior version of the venerable KA-BAR. I love this knife! I've got several high-dollar, top-quality knives that cost more than this one, but it is definitely my favorite. The sheath is pretty decent, too, and includes a survival whistle in it that my 5 year old son and 9 year old daughter think is really cool.Makes the USMC Combat Knife look like it was made for the boy scouts. This is a thick, heavy tough and sharp combat knife that you can use to cut, stab, pry, dig or baton. If WW III comes along this is the bet tool in your kit. Buy it!As always I am very happy with the quality and craftsmanship of TOPS knives. I am happy to add this awesome edged weapon to my collection.I returned because it says to keep it oiled to prevent from rusting. I don't agree with paying over $170 for a knife that I need to keep it oiled. I have other brands that have never seen oil and have never rusted. I've had some of them for over 19 years.Great solid knife. Just what you would expect from Tops Knives.Awesome knife really heavy duty! I want another one!Bad A**
