The design concept behind the Beaver is compactness but still handy to do most Bushcraft type jobs and then some. There's nothing delicate about the Beaver as it's 4mm thick D2 steel and the handle still provides for a safe and comfortable grip. If one wants a compact knife that's easily carried or stashed away in one's backpack, then the Beaver is ideal.

I'm an advocate of small knives for small jobs and large knives for large jobs, the Beaver is an ideal knife to pair up with one of my larger Bushcraft models; namely the DL1, Allrounder and even the Talisman
