Also, as an example of it "digging in" and being hard to get controlled cuts: take a 2 x 4 and cut two stakes. One with a single bevel cut and one with two bevels. Now try to drive both stakes straight into the ground. You just can't drive the single bevel stake straight. You'll be trying to compensate by kind of hitting sideways and you still can't do it. The knife will do the same thing when cutting anything thick.

But.....like everything else, it's a matter of personal preference. Ray Mears has gotten used to it and finds it works well for him. I would never argue with that man. Drop that rascal anywhere in the world and in 15 minutes he'll have a roaring fire and a 4 star shelter with his knife and a shoe lace. He'll walk out of a desert survival situation having GAINED weight!
