The TFK is a knife that offers not only quality from TOPS Knives, but a lot of extra features as well. I really believe that that is where you will either love the knife or not. The devil is in the details as they say, and it will depend on if you see value in the extras. Overall it is a high quality knife that can do the bigger tasks well.

This knife is the best all around knife there is, nothin' beats it!
As far as batoning, you hit the batton on the handle side, it's different, but will work way better than hitting the sharpened top. Takes about a minute of practice, then easy.
You can also purchase the non-sharpened top version, also a serrated version.
You can even use the pinky grip, see mfg home page, for real close up work if needed. I personally carry a smaller EDC knife for small work, so this is my BRUTE FORCE KNIFE, although it will handle most of the fine stuff to with my large hands.

I bought this knife just out of whim and because I kinda like the looks and how it felt in my hand. Knife feels very solid (as all TOPS knives I own), not too heavy or clumsy even it's a tad bigger than I'm used to.
This knife really shines when you have to chop/hack because of the curved handle as you don't have to squeeze the knife that hard. Even with the finger choil you just can't use the knife for very fine jobs because of the size of the blade, but it does help to be able to grab the knife closer to the tip of the blade.
Then the downside... it's the sharp top edge. The idea is great to have a secondary edge but use this knife for batoning, you loose about half the cutting energy because the blade sinks in both 'batoned' and 'batoneer' pieces equally.
But all in all, great piece of a knife =)
PS. TOPS Sheaths are my favorite because of the extra pocket.
