Other than being a bit small for you, how do you find it as a cutting tool?
I’ve been tempted to buy one and grind the point round to make a rope/rescue knife.

I liked the look of the outdoor due to the non wood handle, colour, whistle and serrated blade. I tend to remove the point of any blade I use as a safety knife.
