I owned the Trailmaster as well. Nice blade, good steel, bad handle. I still own a few SRK's, decent all-purpose knife. The problem with their fixed blades is the lack of radiused tang and ergonomics. Even if they're alirght knives I wouldn't bet my life on one. I've seen too many fail when they should have not. Also, I don't give a rat's a** about CS's advertising. I'm not gonna sit there whine about it and repeat what's already been said many times before.
