Thanks Paragon! I was asked just last night by a friend what 'LMF' stood for and I couldn't tell him...he'll be happy to know it means something.

I have the Big Rock too and it now resides in the trunk of my car as well...a good knife but not what I wanted to carry every day in the bush. Plus I bought the serrated version and haven't ever fully warmed up to the partially serrated blades.

I also agree with you about the sheath. I took off the MOLLE crap and just lash the plastic sheath to my packs. I have a massive thumb so extracting the knife from behind my back isn't TOO hard.

I think that if I were less traditional about knives I would enjoy the LMF more as an all around bush knife but the style and the serrations just don't lend it to working with wood beyond hacking and batoning. As it is I love my Gerber Freeman Hunter in S30V but the more I use it, the more I wish it had a scandi grind.
