Hi Vic, congrats on the HG55 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />...Does the knife feel like it could perform a utilitarian role like a RMD?
Yes, while it is primarily a fighter, it cuts well enough. It is thick, but sharp. It looks different, but it reminds me a lot of the SOG bowie with its thick but sharp and pointed blade. I think it could skin and do some light bushcraft if required. Probably not the knife I'd choose for slicing tomatoes very thin. It is certainly more utilitarian and rugged than a Gerber Mk2 or a F-S Dagger. You will love it, Peter. This is a soldier's knife. I still don't know if it beats the Ratmandu. After all, perfection is hard to beat.
