Evil Spock. At the price you better get one. Personally it is the blade shape I have always wanted Dan to bring out. I LOVE that blade profile. It should suffice as a LIGHT chopper, being a quarter inch thick it will do a passable job just not on a par with dedicated chopper type knives. I ordered a BGASH1 when I saw the price and Dang it if Dan didn't come out with his own LOWER PRICED version with the same steel! I should have waited. Oh well, this will be my dedicated belt knife, at least for a while until I see how it really works out for me. Your mileage may of course vary depending on your using habits.
