Great Carving knife
I just received my LS Carver yesterday, what an awesome knife, fits in rhe hand very well. Good balance. Makes a perfect companion knife to one of the larger PKS knives. I have both, the mountain lion , and the wildcat knives and wanted something just a little smaller. This carver is perfect. Just did a little whittling with it, makes great feather sticks. Great knife PKS !
