Yep, that's one ugly knife. I wouldn't want to rule it out from looks without handling it and doing some work with it. Seems like a bunch of different functionality slammed together in one piece of steel. If you have used it and say it works for all of those functions then I guess I'd have to try it to pass judgement myself but it is one Butt ugly knife! For that much weight and size you don't have a EDC blade but a purpose use blade. As such wouldn't you be better with something like a Mod4 Kinfe + a Gransfors Bruks small hatchet, a laplander folding saw and a Cold Steel Panga machette? Seems as if you don't save much weight having all that rolled into your big knife and each of these individual tools will do a better job at their specific uses than your big brute will do at each of them.
