RSF,
I see this is a bit of a dated thread, but I hope you get the message anyway.
First, the design of this knife is not what I envision in a hunter. At least for myself. But then I had to take a second look. In fact, I printed out a pic and hung it up on my wall for thought.
I never liked the tanto point, but I now have a pocket folder with one and find it handy quite often.
The orange is a bit distracting at first, but I have left some good knives to join their place with the arrow heads and other artifacts of time.
I like the hammered finish. For me, life has become about utility and function. The pretty stuff gets left at home.
And thank the maker, it is not half serrated!
I have to respect the makers art and this is no exception. Honestly, I could put this knife on and by the end of a good walkabout, be hopelessly attached. My wife says I do not like change. But with each new purchase in the knife world, I am finding that change is good.
Use that talent you have and change some lives.
