I put this knife through some pretty knotty wood, and it performed...spectacularly. It's an amazing knife. As always bark river knives for me have had an insane 90 degree spine which gets some of the best fire steel sparks...and A2 steel is so fricken hard...It held its edge like a champ vs the knotties. It's a big knife though... -Phorisc Live The Adventure
Ya size is a matter of taste I actually liked the size of it, its a mean little beast Some people like those small knives ya know
