There is no doubt this is a quality tool.
It feels solid, great texture, great build, I really like it.
While looking at this knife, I was also looking at the Bantam and purchased it as well.
And I must say that if I were just going to grab a blade for the road, it'd be the Bantam.
The Soldier is a solid tool that I would keep in my drawer, toolbox, glove compartment, first aid and survival kit, or camping.
Ha, clearly a useful knife ;)
But the Bantam is just so slim and low-profile ... if all you need is a blade and bottle opener (which you can use for wedging and whatnot), well, the Bantam is an every-day-carry kind of friend... it's slimness makes it feel like the preferred "fast grab" for me if I think I'll need a blade ;)
Of course, this is a Soldier review ... don't get me wrong, the Soldier is not a huge bulk by any stretch, it's just a solid serious instrument and I can see myself reserving its use for when I really need it (or if it happens to be nearer than the Bantam).
Now I say all this with the Bantam sitting in front of me and my Soldier back at home... truth be told, I wouldn't want to have one without the other -- they are a perfect combination to have in your arsenal... but I can see having 2 or 3 Bantams for every one Soldier... call me crazy ;)
Both feel "right" in the hand... great material.
