Sweet! I've got numerous HEST/Fs, been carrying them all over the planet for I don't know how long. I carried an Emerson CQC-7 on my first overseas gig in Azerbaijan, but it's alot of handle for a small blade. I think you've got a perfect balance in the HEST/F. 35 countries and counting, often snuggled into my belt/inside my pants/small of my back and no rust despite all the sweat. Honestly, it mostly opens beers and parcels, but it's pried open battery packs on aircraft GPS units in the Sahara, and cut a TON of bait on fishing charters all over the world. I feel naked without it. I had it out once in Baku and once in Gabon for defence, but thankfully didn't have to use it.
