Bruce, as a bonafide "collector", I'm sure that you realize that very few of these knives will ever see any use at all. For those who can swing it, its probably not a bad investment. Bear's name on it makes it special. I only wish he had chosen an American company, as the exchange rate makes L350 a lot of jack. But Bear is a Brit, so there you have it. I so wanted to have a Bear Grylls knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
