Capabilities exceed expectations

The RBS Afghan has become one of my favorite hiking knives. Actual cutting surface extends about 4.5" while the overall extension from the scales is 5.5". The 1" extension provides a great finger grove for carving or scraping with a fero-rod. Not a light knife by any stretch, at 11.5oz you definitely notice the mass of the knife considering its overall size. This mass makes the knife a better de-limber than any knife I've used of its size. The RBS series is 3/16" thick, rather than the 1/4 of the Afghan series. I believe this feature is better suited for a knife of this size, as it slices and carves extremely well.
This knife is sold at a price-point far below its value IMO. Clearly, the attention was placed on the knife, not the knife/sheath package. The sheath is simply too large for a knife of this size--much like the SP46. My guess is, production of the sheath crosses multiple knives. Good or bad, you save $$, but pay for it in a sheath too large. You make the call.
Overall, it's a winner. When you use the knife, you get a sense of solid security, without fear of breakage. Here's a link to a short video with some further explanation--
