Over view :

Quarter inch think.
Very wide blade
Very good, common man price of $70 on Amazon.
Weighs about a 1lb 16oz
The Blade is 5 one quarter inch in length
Overall length 10 and one half inch
Drop point blade
1095 Cro-van steel
Flat Grind
Grivory handle
Made in the USA
Has the extended tang that allows you to use this knife as a chisel.
Comfortable but slick
the shape of the handle will prevent it from flying out of your hand
If you take the two halves a part you have a fairly good sized cavity to place small survival items if that is what you wish to do.
Can replace with micarda handles which many say are much, much better
Great for batoning
Has a drop point
Came with a very poor kydex sheath.
Some love it, some hate it. I hate it!
Very poor balance
Very high retention -- Common complaint
Ambidextrous : can be adjusted with the screws
Beautiful quality
Very sharp. Great for slicing, batoning and limbing. If you are a hunter, it's great for skinning.
When batoning that width will just about shatter the wood.
Keep the width of your target less than 4 inches and you will be in good shape.
Blade holds a very sharp edge
