Hope I can get my thoughts to you in time. this is the greatest design in a knife I've ever seen. The gut hook unzips the skin like pulling on a zipper. The saw blade severs the pelvic bone and also cuts small limbs to clear shooting lanes. The knife ( and saw) lock in position for safety. The design is modern and functional...no Bowie-traditionalists ...strictly function over form...however the form is elegant. It does take a little extra effort to clean, but this is not an unpleasant chore. Comes with a case that threads through your belt if you wish. My opinion hasn't changed on this knife ( see my previous posts), and I haven't seen anything superior to it. Bought mine on Ebay. Be sure to get the newer model as the blade and sawblade don't lock on the old one.
