The Midwatch is a hybrid design that can do it all. The wide clip point blade lends itself well to a variety of uses from skinning game to poking holes, and of course, slicing and dicing. The pinky ring indicates tactical uses but the design may be a bit too compact for some, however, that's where it really shines. It's small, but not too small, and the weight is extremely impressive for a knife this stout. Always be covered with the Midwatch.
