It seems to be a very easy knife to do a variety of tasks with.My DMCG has been through some hard use(not abuse)and to look at it you can hardly tell it's been used at all.5in. blades are so easy to carry and use,between the Ratmandu,DMCG and the new S5 I'll be reaching a whole new level of "Which knife should I take with me?" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
