Thicc

Love the heft and quality of the tool and sheath. The micarta handle is a great touch. Overall, the knife is well made, if only not the best design for the designation "skinner". After a few minutes on the belt grinder I was able to thin down the edge with a flat grind. Now it suites my needs better (I purchased the knife with the intentions of using it in the fashion of an Ulu or "rocking" chopper for tobacco plugs) The weight and heft makes for a good conventional chopper, but the stubby profile means you won't get the best leverage during such a task. Whatever your purposes for this blade, I recommend considering the dimensions before purchasing if you're not willing to give it a new edge.
