Togiharu PRO Petty 5.9” vs Ka-Bar Bowie Dog's Head Utility Fixed Blade Knife

This is my first "decent' knife and it is awesome! I'm a very small person and I think any bigger and the knife would have felt too large and unnatural in my hand. It's really sharp and has a great medium weight to it. It feels really solid. I've never really been into kitchen knives before, but my current one was just an ordinary cheap paring knife and this Tojira knife has made cutting vegetables a more enjoyable task

I read in another review that they thought the sheath was too thin. After receiving the knife, I don't think so. It's thick enough for sturdiness, but if it were any thicker, that would just be added weight. Anyone who has had to lug everything around on their back, doesn't want any more weight than necessary

I also like the shape of the handle over the oval shape of some Japanese knives with smaller handles.

Bank vault solid! The steel holds its edge after several hard tasks and touches back up (with a diamond stone) to a razor. The handle is slimmer than a standard Ka-Bar USMC, so it swims around in the sheath (which I suspect was designed to fit the standard Ka-Bar, not this one) and I think most fans of this design would rather have a thicker handle. However, the heavier pommel is a plus and the abbreviated cross guard is very adaptable to various hand positions. You can't go wrong here
