Yes, the A2 is big. But, due to the balance it feels light. I do not think it will make a great chopper due to this, but it will make a good camp/survival knife and I've read good things about the steel. The price is also good.

I still prefer the ASH though... I think I will get the BRKT PSK for my kit. Or maybe the Micro Canadian... Aarghh, so many knives and so little time!

I also think if I did not already have the ASH-I would have gotten a SOD. I love the look of it and SR77 is amazing stuff.
