One of my sons has the CS LTC and it is his hands-down favorite big knife. He uses it for everything, choosing different grips (on the spine of the blade) for different non-chopping tasks. The best I can tell you is make an effort to actually use it in the woods and don't be shy about grasping it along the spine. For example, it's a passible drawknife. It works something like an ulu for slicing / chopping food. And so on.
