Civivi Baklash vs TOPS Knives Hornero Fixed Blade Knife Tan/Black

Perhaps I just received a bad example of what is seemingly a great knife otherwise, but sadly I think it'll see less time in my pocket from here on out.

The idea was to create something ready to do a nearly-comprehensive list of indoor and outdoor tasks, short of heavy duty chopping and the like; the Hornero can snip, slice, whittle, gouge, and more. No surprises with the blade steel here: 1095 carbon graced with a black powder coating. Reynoso’s aim in creating the Hornero was to marry a compact blade with a full-sized handle. By bringing the blade length down as far as possible without sacrificing his knife’s capabilities, he made room for a generous handle that doesn’t impact the knife’s carryability
