The Survive! GSOs are one of the very very few blades outside of The Busse Family that catch my attention.
One of my two best mates has a Fallkniven and the other several Chris Reeves, all are nice baldes, I would not now pay the asking price for the CRKs but he got them as an investment and so far is doing well. I also keep coming back to my late 1980s Cold Steel SRK...!!
I have a semi custom blade from Stitch Knives and it is pure function (Elmax steel) in a smaller package (he also sent out one of his 1/2 tang blades that is with my best mate for field testing - as he gets to dress far more deer than I...!!!
I will probably add a GSO to my collection down the road.
When I was whittling down my collection, my key 4" choices were a Howling Rat or Esee 4. The GSO would easily have been on the short list too. It's impressed me a lot.
