Anyone have any experience with this caping knife?

I just got one from santa this year, but I work with a guy in the mountains for a couple years now and he has had one for a while. He rough capes with it, face, ear bases etc but still swears by scalpules for the tricky stuff. Eyes, turning the ears and lips. I guess it is all what you get used to cause I know anohter guy who does everything from gutting to quartering to the tricky little caping stuff with one folding knife too. For me I will use it until crunch time and then out comes the scalpule.

I've used a pair for a few seasons now. They go hand-in-hand with a diamond hone, as they need a quick hone up often. I have on for rough and one for fine work. Love the grip. Mien are always in my pack, so may ditch the leather sheaths, as they seem to weigh as much as the knife/hone.
