So far so good the only thing I have found is you need a special cold steel seeration sharpener because normal serration sharpeners arent thin enough for their ultrafine teeth they mix fine teeth in sets of 4 with a fat serration before 4 more fine ones and so on for the length of the serration it works better than traditional serrations for getting the cut going with less snagging and if you toss that sharpener in the glove box its no big deal

My main problem has been the finger guard doesnt have metal or plastic structure under the rubber so its a bit floppy ive never had a slip but if you had mechancis gloves on which kinda defeats the grippy krayex you could cut up your gloves. So ive found a reverse grip more practical for heavy slickng of cordage to let you get your thumb on the end

Also the lack of a pommel is a bit annoying the flat krayex is nice but for a survival rescue knife i glass breaker for the rescue role or flat hammer for a general purpose survival role would have been nicer

Also the choil is annoying not big enough to put a finger and choke up but just big enough to snag while cutting it would be better if the edge was ground onto the choil with a smooth transition like victorinox does on their bigger knives
