how did you break the tip? i have the tanto anaconda, and I am also extremely abusive to my knives lol... i am curious though, so i can learn from your mistake and not mine. thanks!
@CondemnedPatriot Tip prying into wood. After stabbing several quarters with it. It honestly shouldn't have broke. I've down similar abuse to a few other knives and their tips are fine. However, it could be because of the swedge on the tip. This is why I am extremely resentful of swedges. They serve very little purpose (some people say it is to lighten the blade. Really? Can't carry a few extra milligrams?) and can weaken the tip of the knife considerably.
@JoakimfromAnka Yea they do that too...hahaha. No they are alternating chain-saw cut teeth. Great for making square notches but not too much of anything else.
@wilcox1219 I mean it works, just that batoning against the grain (or using a proper saw) is faster and more efficient. (Also, I can easily do the task with a smaller knife).
i know you said that the saw was good, but i was hoping for a demonstration... do you have a vid on it it your bushcraft vids? or maybe could you make a video of that? i would be really grateful
Well, it's ok. Good for notching, but that's about it. If I had a small knife, I could make a notch just as quick or faster. I tried using it as a wire breaker (fence like wire), too, didn't really go so well.
I carried one of these every day when I was deployed to Iraq. Its heavy but built like a tank. I never got to use it in combat but I cut apart a car trunk and chopped up the cement holding a window frame in place to make entry in a house. Didn't damage the metal much but i don't a lot of the black finish left anymore. I love it but I have the old kydex sheath that came with it. It was my biggest complaint about the knife from the beginning and still is.
good review. i just ordered a steel eagle 111A with the hunters point. cant wait to get it. you have some nice knives. what do you use them for? camping hiking??? brush trees??
Bushcraft and anything that I can do in the woods. Training, etc. I really don't need another knife, but it would be nice to get an extremely rust resistant fix blade with serrations (for SAR, like the H2O from BM), though I really haven't come to a situation where a knife like that was needed. :D

I belive those teeth prevents use of batoning through wood?

@SharpSpears Really The sawback works pretty well for me. Not like a folding saw but some green wood wrist thick.

Did yours come with a workable edge? I had to send mine away to be sharpened and after that it seemed to work fine.

Yea, mine came with a hair-popping sharp edge.

That's pretty awesome and thank you for your service.
It is a great overall knife, but my complaint is quite the opposite of yours. If you interested, I'd be willing to trade for the Cordura sheath.
