I'm typically skeptical about most things I see reviewed on Youtube, but after watching Grim Granite's reaction, I had to try out this knife. Long story short, I love it, my wife loves it, my grandson, son-in-law, and several friends all love this knife. I bought several as Christmas gifts and then I just purchased a couple more because there was a special edition and I liked the colors on the scales.
This thing is light but really rugged. It is a small knife but it doesn't feel like a small knife in the hand. The sheath has excellent retention on the blade while not making it difficult to draw with one hand. The belt clip works well but I prefer to keep it on a paracord lanyard as a neck knife.
I greatly appreciate the embedded sharpener for keeping an edge while out in "the wilds" (or, my backyard - it has been really cold so haven't camped for a bit). The ferro rod throws nice fat sparks so if your tinder is decent, you'll get a fire going in no time - I even used it to get my charcoal going in the grill just to see if it would work. The only thing I don't care about is the whistle, but it is loud and I can use it to annoy my wife, so maybe I do have a use for it.
I've now stashed these in several camping kits and keep one in the truck with the emergency gear.
Great little knife I didn't realize I was missing in my life.

Hmmm… I bought a good scale, and I simply refill my empty canisters with a 75/25 mix of Butane and Propane. You have to weigh it all CAREFULLY, but refilling is way better for the environment than tossing them. Once you get the hang of it, you can save tons of money and buy a second Phoenix Feather for your other backpack. I LOVE that knife…!!!
