I have one that was given to me by a friend.  I don't carry it though, I guess because of it's size & weight.  No doubt it would be a useful tool for yard work, etc.

Yes it is underrated in my opinion. Especially if you are hunting or hiking outdoors.  :cheers:

My most carried SAKs over the years include the Green Hornet (91mm), Carver SW (93mm), and Fireman (111mm).
They share with the Hunter XT the combo of plain blade, serrated blade, and woodsaw.
It´s my favorite blade combo and that´s why I like the Hunter XT even when I prefer two hand opening.

I dunno about underrated.  If it floats your boat, go for it.  For me, however, the 111mm series fills a niche that doesn't exist when it comes to outdoors/woods/hiking.  For those activities, I prefer a slightly smaller folder (91mm or 93mm SAK fits the bill here) paired with a fixed blade.
