They are razor sharp though!

And they have a very good rep.

I get it. But honestly I cannot imagine any knife work where my hands can fail the 2/3rd tang. Butchering the deer, I put the blade into the rectum and tried to lift. I hoped to pop thru the pelvic bone to remove the entrails easily. I was not strong enough. Next time I will add leverage and try to pry thru. I watched a rancher kid do it to a hog with a buck knife. It blew me away. I'm willing to try with such a cheap knife.

The sheath is goofy. But it washed easy. I jammed a rag in with a chopstick to clean out blood. I am cutting off the belt hook to save weight .
