I've had one almost 30 years. I use it. They are super quality and meant to cut. If you keep it sharp with ceramic sticks, you won't mar the blade. Some years ago, I dropped it point first on a rock. Sent it back to Randall (they put repairs ahead of orders) and it came back completely refurbished. Still using that knife. It'll do all the hunting chores smaller knives can do, and serve you better for the bigger tasks.
