I've just noticed this thread while lurking and I thought I would add this: I used this knife extensively on survival exercises during my RAF service and I would not recommend it at all.

It is a poor compromise between a hatchet and a knife and very little use in either application. It is poorly balanced and uncomfortable to use for chopping (though I see they have redesigned the handle scales which may reduce the discomfort) and it is very clumsy for slicing. It is also extremely heavy to carry about with you.

If you want a fixed blade knife, I suggest you buy one of the larger of Doug's designs. If you want to chop, get a decent hatchet. If you absolutely must have a compromise, you might try a kukri, but make sure the handle is big enough for your hands.
