I just wanted to add personal impression of knife

I gots me quite a few high zoot handmades, of great renown, beauty, etc. But, hardly any could out-cut or hold up better than the W49, and truthfully trust the construction and steel of the W49 over most of them.

It is tougb, and the handle is much more firmly attached. With the laminate, not a worry in the world of even a crack or chop. Some of the others might make a better crowbar, but not as many as blade thickness might suggest, and probably would not survive as much of a knife when done.

Meanwhile, when it comes time to flat out cut, carve, and chop, the W49 thinner blade makes a mucb better knife.

You got yourself a good one.
