By Psws5547 from San Lorenzo, California on 08/14/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Functional, Variety Of Tools Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is bigger than the backpacker style Swiss Army knife I had. The handle is about 4.25 inches long and is very comforable to hold. The locking main blade is a little over three inches long (blade portion). The saw blade has thick, sharp teeth. The reamer, tweezers and toothpick are nice to have. The only thing it doesn't have is a pair of scissors but I don't miss it.
By candyandbambi from Los Angeles, CA on 07/16/2009 Pros: Durable, Functional, Variety Of Tools Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It is great to take it with me anytime, anywhere. Very handy and useful.
Hefty knife for heavy-duty use By Wrex from Indiana on 07/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Functional, Variety Of Tools Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I got this because I needed a pocket knife for camping and hiking. It's bigger and heavier than I expected, but I suppose that's the trade-off for having things like the saw blade, which I wanted. It's definitely not a knife to carry in your pocket on a regular basis. I keep mine in my car in case of emergencies and plan to take it for camping and hiking. It's got the tools I really want, like a sturdy knife, tweezers (good for ticks), saw blade for wood, and a blade that can cut seatbelts or straps.

By Country doc from West Virginia on 01/06/2009 Cons: Too thick to put in pocke Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips, River Trips, Road Trips, Survival Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I carry a Swiss Army Knife with me at all times. The fireman's knife is toobig/thick/heavy to fit comfortably in my pocket. It seems well made though.
By Flatlander from Boston, MA on 12/21/2008 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Easy To Use, Versatile Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips, River Trips, Road Trips, Survival Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Knife will be given as a gift and it fits the exact needs of any individual looking for a large knife for emergency situations.
By PTRguide from South Central, Ut on 12/03/2008 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Compact, Durable, Easy To Use, Good Weight, Sharp Blade, Versatile Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Road Trips, Survival Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this knife everyday in the field. The main blade is longer than your average swiss army knife blade. The saw blade is also longer than your typical field utility tool. I make a lot of wooden spoons and deadfall traps, so I appreciate a saw you can actually cut a 2-3 inch tree branch with cleanly.
I'd say the only drawback, this goes for all folding knives, is cleanup after cutting meat or vegetables.
