Just as others mentioned it's fine for wood carving, not for collecting firewood. It's come in handy many times for making bucksaws, bowdrill notches, notch for cooking hook, even in canoebuilding and boat building I have taken it many times for small jobs as it was available in my pocket. Plus I don't like the too thin SAK's in the hand so the saw is useful to make it a little thicker. The huntsman is my ideal pocketknife. I use every feature and don't miss anything, just the hook seems a bit odd, though I've used it sometimes to pull out tent pegs...
