I think there is a bit of value to the vids Noss(?) posts, while I know knives are cutting tools and "are the most expensive, least effective pry bar you will ever buy" (to paraphrase CRKT loosely) if you are stuck in and overturned Jeep or Landie it'd be good to know you picked a S6 as your utility knife!

I take it Mike (who seems to hate Noss's stuff) is the man behind Bark River? No libel intended if I am wrong!! A Bravo 1 with antique ivory micarta looks sooooo good! Sharp art..
