ODB, edge retention was pretty good. Before I left home for my weekend field trip, I did a few cutting tests. Nothing scientific, just cutting some leather and paper as well as shaving some wood. There really wasn't any discernible difference in cutting the same materials after getting back from the field.

CANOEDOGS, Yes it is a little on the heavy side, but remember that this is by no means an EDC knife. It's good at it's intended use as a camp knife. If worn on the belt it's quite manageable. Carrying in a rucksack, thats another story...
