So far I haven't had to sharpen the edge yet...it still shaves but I haven't done a great deal with it yet...just a bit more whittling than what you have seen here.

I was sitting on the deck practicing some firecraft techniques with some different knives. I thought I'd post these to show that the SEAL Pup does have some bushcrafting value. The knife really is great to work with on tedious stuff, nice and light and doesn't fatigue the arm. A piece of Elm, a piece of Maple, and a piece of Sycamore.
I was cutting a piece of wire earlier today and after cutting it decided to test the Power Lock some. I cut and stripped some 12 ga copper wire, and the cut some 8 penny nails; common, finish, and galvanized steel it handled them all great with only a loss of some coating in the cutting area. I really like the gear drive, made cutting a breeze. As a note I have permanently damaged my old Leathermans doing this in a pinch at work. I also twisted one with no ill effects of the nose of the pliers. This sure seems to be a tough little multi-tool.
the problem with those flint strikers is that they make big scraps otu fo rod -_- i use a cut of saw blade ^^
nice knife ^^ i might get one

Just wondering if there is a stated purpose for the 'hump' in the spine of the knife? i've not come across that before. Also, do you know the ridges on the spine marketed for anything in particular? Both unusual features!
Just like to add a tiny amount to that fantastic review if I may, in that I have one of these knives, and I really do find it excellent. It's as strong as a midget wrestlers forearm, superbly sharp, and so light you can carry it without weight penalty. I love the fact it does detail work so well, and not just the splitting tyoe chores you associate with a camp knife.
As someone who has always had heavy knives in the past, this is the one that finally convinced me to trust the lightweight end of the spectrum.
Brilliant piece of kit.
