He's a very interesting character. I've read at least four of his books. Personally though, I think his knife tried to be a jack of too many trades and ended up not mastering any. The hunted was good and had some really good people working on the fight scenes.

I'm aware...it just doesn't do any of those as well as a tool dedicated to it. That's not surprising and doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that it doesn't work well as a fighting implement in a pinch. The mechanics required to give you the multiple surfaces for the different tasks end up giving you a fairly unwieldy mass without a decent point and with a very different blade profile. It really reacts more like a small hatchet which is interesting. Winkler actually makes a small tomahawk in the same size which is nice, but not anywhere near as useful as it's larger counterpart. Regardless, it comes across to me as something trying to do too many things at the same time and failing. And, yes, I've used the largest size and handled the others.

Interesting that you made an account just to comment on this one post. Will you be sticking around with us?
