I actually like this knife just the way it is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. When I first saw it- I thought it looked useless <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />. Then the time came to pick some up and I ordered. The thing is a BEAST-plus it can purely chop and you can easily make it scary sharp <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.It is a joy to sharpen and with a little stropping the 101 lays down a great edge <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Thanks for the review and pictures. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
