I haven't been able to use my new Scout Feather yet, but here my initial impressions, as someone who is into fly fishing, paddle-boarding (and paddle-board fishing), hiking, camping, and knives. Over all, every element of this tool (knife, sheath, ferro rod, sharpener, and whistle) is well thought out and executed. The fit and finish are solid. I'm a form follows function person, and this tool is a shining example of that motto, but I want to give a special shout out to the handle on this knife. I don't think it could fit my hand any better than it does. I have one minor issue with this tool, and that is the belt clip. It holds the sheath a little *too* well, meaning it's not easy to remove the sheath when I want to. This has implications for using the ferro rod and sharper. In addition, with all my outdoor pursuits, I have 3 packs and a PFD that I would need to carry the knife on. I think time and use will provide a solution to that problem. All in all, I would definitely recommend the Scout Feather.
