Dale used the knife to chop and baton through some hard Elm branches, and reported that the knife performed flawlessly.

As always, the first and most frequent place I use a knife is in the kitchen. For me, food prep is a great way to get a feel for a knife. One of the first things I noticed about this knife, was how comfortable the stag handle is. The natural handle material has a warmth in the hand, and it is very nicely shaped. Using either hand, it fit perfectly. The texture of the stag kept it secure in the hand, more secure than I had expected.
