This is one heck of a good knife for the money.http://www.knifeman.co.uk/ViewItem.php?ItemID=122It was my first shot at getting a 'bushcraft' type knife and it was a pretty good shot in the dark. It does have a deep hollow ground blade rather than a scandi grind that some folks might not like but it's never particularly bothered me.
I've been thinking about one of these:Cold Steel Bushman
I've got that one and ...

Now you got me thinking if I should even bother with it... Seriously though, you have pretty much answered the questions I had about it.
I've handled this and was disappointed in it's quality and strength.

I think mine would do the job eventually, and yes there's BIG compromises in comfort, durability and heft - but for the weight (as a back up only) I think it's a fairly capable bit of metal. I don't think there's many other blades that size at that weight I also think a spear is a bad idea, but can see that a short handle to aid chopping might be a useful option
