This knife is solid, it’s full tang, has a good thickness, nice handle and sheath, I was an immediate fan. What’s nice about this knife is that it’s solid but its not to long or heavy which can sometimes plague a good fixed blade knife. It easily slides into a pack or on a belt and is always at the ready. The sheath is nice as well, it’s hard plastic and can be setup for right, left, tip up or tip down carry.
