I gave this to my son as a rite of passage gift on his first hunt. I wanted to get him a quality knife that will last him a lifetime, and this is one great knife. He's 11, and it fits his hands and mine equally well. The choil and guard are perfect for either heavy or fine cutting grips and the rubberized grip is very comfortable. The knife came very sharp and with an even bevel. The workmanship was excellent.The sheath is pretty solid for a factory sheath, and they have even switched to a metal snap, so I didn't have to replace it. This is a great knife.
