Great kitchen knife
Doesn't seem heavy enough for many camp chores but plan to reserve it for a dedicated kitchen knife. Love it for the nostalgia.
Sharp, lightweight
Perfect little knife, sharp, cuts cheese well!
Too SMALL!
The quality of the knife is fine. Shopper error. I didn't check the size of it and it is more a less sized for a Barbie doll. Oh, well. Not sure what to use if for.
Fantastic little knife
It is super light weight and quite sharp. I really love this little knife and found it more useful than a clunky multi-tool while camping. I was able to cut sticks off a branch with ease for kindling and open packs of fire wood fast. It is part of my core camping gear now.
Perfect knife for backpacking
This knife is SUPER light but still has a locking blade that is big enough to be useful. The steel is easy to get really sharp without having to be an expert knife sharpener.
