A very strong tip, thick spine, high carbon steel, and visible one piece construction (true full tang) make this design extremely tough and rugged. It is a classic "hard use" medium-sized fixed blade for outdoor use. The Mil-Spie 5 was originally a military equipment project, but the design looks more useful as a general survival tool rather than a fighter.
