Great knife for just about anything you might want a knife for. Only draw back I have is the cover. Clumsy and hard to attach to anything to carry if you need to

Grip is good even when covered in blood
Very heavy duty. I use it (and abuse it) and it has not broken, and I don't see it ever getting broken. Grip is good even when covered in blood.

It's tough
I think its the best of all worlds. There are two types of seration, staight blade and a glass breaker. Through in the scabbard that can go on your calf or belt and its always at hand.
