Feels good in the hand
"Solid, good-looking knife. Weight-forward with POB about 1. 25" ahead of the guard. Seems like solid construction, but the tang is only ~9/16" where it enters the guard. The transition appears to be 90 degrees from blade to tang and that is a recipe for failure with a lot of heavy chopping. At less than $30, it's a nice looking knife, but wouldn't be my choice for a survival blade. The hooked guard and hooked pommel designs are very good for protecting the hand and for blade retention if doing and butchering or chopping."
