It looks tiny, and at 35g it is, but a 3.5" handle is enough for even my meaty hands, and most of the time a 2.5" blade is plenty. In fact, it is about the same length as a CRKT Pilar that weighs more than the Woodswalker and the sheath (55g) together.

It's not what you would call "heavy duty", that weight has to come from somewhere. You're not going to chop down trees or open paint cans with it, but it is great to have a paring knife for a picnic/cookout and other light tasks. It's easier to clean and sharpen than a folder, and you don't have to explain how a liner lock works to your friends.

The sheath is it's real party trick, fits perfectly in the back pocket of jeans or inside pocket of a jacket, with just enough handle sticking out to pull. They also make a kydex neck sheath, but this isn't c/neckknives.

Like cameras, the knife you have with you is more useful than the one you left at home, and this little guy is in my pocket more days than not.

That looks like a kitchen paring knife.

It basically is. Smaller than most of my paring knives though.

It's pretty neat. I'd like to carry something like that when backpacking. Everything I have is bulky and heavy.
