Tom, using my 14 in the field was one of the most fun experiences with a knife I have ever had! I find it sad that people are afraid to put a knife to use in the application it was made for. The 14 is most certainly heavy duty survival knife, mine was doing what it was made to do!

As far as a chainsaw goes, those aren't much fun and I prefer hand tools to power tools any day!

As far as the thread going off topic, we are talking about randall knives on a randall forum!
