They are beautiful knives but I wonder whether they'd put up with being used as a hammer, batoning etc.
My friend brought one hiking once and the blade got stuck in the handle - turns out if the wood gets wet, it expands and pinches the blade.
That's why I feel better carrying my very tough Gerber when hiking (here in NZ I am often 2-3 days walk from the nearest road so equipment failure is something I try to avoid). Then again I'm probably catastrophising... I've never actually had to do any of those things. Fine for cycle touring in Europe of course.
