Googled it.
Looks like a fantastic piece of steel!

I have a Buck Clearwater knife, essentially a clone of the Leech Lake knife, they are nice but I've cut my fingers badly more than once.  I find I use the secondary edge of the knife to basically do almost everything which does keep the primary edge nice and sharp for skinning and deboning.  The problem is my fingers are always right next to a very sharp knife edge going back and forth - not good!  I wish I would have gotten a nice 6" fillet knife and a secondary 4.4" fillet knife.  This way, I just put one knife down and use the other without ever worrying/forgetting about the secondary knife edge, saving my fingers!
How long is a piece of string?

I have had mine for 4 years very nice knife. And yes be wary of the second edge. Cut myself the first time using it. Never since.

I've got a great scar on my index finger from the false edge of my Leech Lake.  It fillets fish just as easy as it did my finger.  Awesome knife, had mine for 5 years now.

That second edge is their claim to fame and also the reason I gave mine away. As long as you own it someone will grab it the wrong way. That's just not worth it to me.

I have 2 one for my cabin and one for home. My dad has one too. I am a big fan. Not that I am much better with it than my Rapela but it sure is nice.
