This is a great full tang knife. It is just long enough to comfortably hold in one hand. The size overall makes it fairly compact. The Gerber LMF 2 is probably the better choice if the knife is in constant use but this one is a good compromise, solid knife.
The metal tip at the base of the knife maybe useful for certain tasks but I find it catches on my arm when knife is worn around a waist belt. It is also not comfortable if you want to exert pressure using your palm to push the blade through a surface.
The sheath is pretty standard nylon with plastic bracket. It is functional and does the job.
