I ordered my K1 about a month ago. Got a chance to use it on my Antelope in Wyoming last week. Very light at just over an ounce and very sharp. Unfortunately, it does not hold an edge very long. It was totally dull by the time i had skinned my buck and boned out the meat while it was hanging. Had to switch to my havalon on the cape out as it was just to dull to finish. I had forgotten my carbide sharpener on this hunt. Once i got home, i was able to try the sharpener. In no time, i had the razor edge back on the blade. Its a great knife, just know that it will need to be sharpened on a regular basis. I will keep the carbide with me on all future hunts. I love the light weight and am using it for a neck knife on a lanyard. Barely notice and its always handy.
