I really want to like this knife....i just don't, and I'll tell you why!

Some campgrounds dictate a knife under 4 inches which is why I bought a Principle. It's small size plus being light makes it a good backpacking choice. The 420HC steel takes a fine edge while giving good rust resistance. Mine cuts into wood like a chisel, holds an edge for a reasonable amount of work, and hones to a very fine edge. Makes for a great backup knife or paired with a hatchet. I like mine.

I use mine for bushcrafting. It has held up well for over two years. Perfect size for small and medium tasks.

if you insert the shim between the clip and the sheathe from the bottom up, you have a small hole for neck carry as well

The Gerber Strongarm I think is more of what your looking for. It has the same modular sheath with even more carry option, its bigger stronger, better grip, better angles. I have the strongarm and its great, but im looking at this for a edc which the strongarm is not.

I love the priciple. I bought a Terracraft when they dropped, and while it is good, the size difference and the saber grind instead of the scandi is a turn off for me, especially for bushcrafting.

You can't beat this for the price and features.

Who really needs to baton any way?? I've never been in a forest where there is nicely cut logs randomly lying around. You are gonna find deadfall and it's all gonna be dry and mostly you use your boots to break it in fire pit size chunks anyway.
