I like the looks of the pouch, I bet it's a bit more user friendly. I got my #28 Thursday evening, it looks like a genuine workhorse. You could probably hammer a half dozen of them into a tree for steps up to your deerstand! (I'll try to be a bit more reasonable with mine)

The false edge going into the drop point establishes a blade profile that you can't really appreciate until you have one in your hand. The blade appears much stronger in person than in photos I'd seen. I may go for a walk in the woods today, looking for deer sheds, with a new 28 on my hip!
