I really like it Haertig. It's done everything I've ever asked it to. It's holds it's edge nicely, and the serrations are perfectly out of the way for batonning, which is a huge plus for me. The serrated part has been used many, many times for things like cutting vines, green branches and it does the job like a pro. It's a nice little saw. It's not a very big knife either, which I really like. (The blade is less than 5")

It's still on their website so they must still make it. (Model 25-12 for $33.50 http://www.rukoproducts.com/cart/index.php?target=products&product_id=201) My husband bought it maybe 12 years ago so it's certainly got the longevity to disprove the "the serrations weaken the blade" theory. Of course, it's never been used as a pry bar or as anything other than a knife.
