Well I finally got mine about two weeks ago. A2 Tan micarta.
The handle was just too big and give me the worst blisters, I've ever had from testing a blade. The two lanyards were also causing blisters on my fingers.
I was impressed enough by its cutting abilities, to deciding it's a keeper. To be used, ofcourse. A little sand and emery paper, a good deal of sanding later. I've now got a fantastic, bushcraft/woodcraft tool.
I always carry two knives. To avoid cross contamination, one for food prep, fishing, hunting, and one for anything else.
I've got woodlore clones, some good, some great, and I think if you only carry one knife. The woodie, is a better designed blade, more universal in its uses, certainly better at game or food prep.
The Skookum was designed as a survival tool, for the bush/woods, has a better handle, and is a beast that does what ever is asked of it. It's made as a working tool and it excels. Is it better than an Enzo or Helle with the same grind angle. No not at all, but a woodie is no better than a clone, just more desirable.
I love mine, it's getting an antler handle me thinks.
Don't knock them, until you have used one.
Great review.
