This one will end up with a permanent place in my pack and I think I'm going to order another one to carry...
I love my 10, 14, and the new 24. I stripped the first two and got a crash course on caring for 1095 carbon steel. Started EDC'ing the 14 but tired of oiling it everyday. Picked up a 24 and so far so good in the Texas humidity.
