It is a heavy duty bushcraft knife with a broad, ‘Nessmuk’-type blade invented by North American knifemakers. (The first piece I made is still in use in Canada today.)
Due to the broad blade and the ~5.5mm blade thickness it has a truly robust design. The false edge provides good penetration in spite of the robustness of the blade. The blade has a hump, so it is easier to swing and to chop with while it can also be used as a handhold. However, it is less suitable for fine work
