Yup. And money well spent I imagine too!

But you must be a fool to spend that on a knife.....

[Scythe13]

I feel so foolish.

for me a blade is a tool ,if you want to spend that money on that then haho ,as for a scope it is a precision piece of kit not a lump of metal you cut things with .there is a big difference ,that's just my view

So you agree in principle, you just won't admit it.

We all know you get exactly what you pay for, if you're happy with a cheap replica then that's fine, but at least admit to yourself that it's not going to be anywhere near the same quality as something made from the best materials. Spending the extra on something of greater quality does not make one a fool, implying that someone who is willing to invest in a quality tool is a fool... Well...

saying that a fool and there money is easy parted ,is a old saying ,just that BM ,there was no malice in what I said dude .I do see that the way I said it could be seen as rude so I apologise ,I have been on this site long enough for you guys to no that im not scared to call a knob a knob ,I was not meant to offend

Its just a fiscal balancing act.....getting the job done for a reasonable amount of money , all nice knives but I reckon I could get the job done cheaper (i like Boker and there a bit cheaper like for like,not much though ) but it's about you're personal requirements and standards+ there's nothing wrong with a bit of kit lust if you have the funds to do it....bit of pride in a nice blade....I get it!

Thanks for the replies/responses, guys - I hope I didn't cause any friction, there.

BeardyMan: It's just y'r routine 440 Stainless, according to the blade.

Scythe: Thanks for the Trail Master info - AND, THE LINK!

I've just added Haynes to my daily visits list, in fact!

I'm in a regular personnel mine of information, here!

Perfectly good enough. That's actually pretty good value for money as it's sub £50. I don't like the full length saw part on the back, but that's my personal preference.
