Utica Big Pine

This just came in last night...I got it for my brother for Christmas. He enjoys checking out my knives and has mentioned that he would love a carbon steel fixed blade knife for general use...I hope this fits the bill. I haven't had a chance to take better outdoor photos yet, and I thought this would look quite nice against the snowy backdrop we have up here. cheers

That is a fine looking knife! Love the green handles....it will be a reminder that it was a Christmas gift, and that is some good lookin' bone!

What is the feel of the knife in hand?

Does it have a good thickness for grip?

I've been looking at those but haven't had a chance to hold one.

It looks really nice

thanks guys...the knife feels good, heavy, nice balance. It's not really thick and bulky, but I like the stealth feel...in hand, and in the sheath. If I didn't buy it as a present I would have been cutting stuff with it already...but with my luck I'd mark it up.

Thanks for the info Lawrence

Knice score!!!! I reviewed the Adirondack (wood handle) fixed blade earlier in the year....I liked it.

Here's a couple more pics to give you a better feel for the design. I placed it beside a few other knives of similar size to compare handle width...Buck 110, Morakniv, and an old PAL.

I wish I was your brother................

Looks like the perfect size and blade shape for a deer skinning/butchering knife - and it looks very nice too - your brother will be proud to own that knife! OH
