actually maverick, dan gives a 1 hour time period of when the knife will be released (along with other notices/hints throughought the week/days before) so you do know Exactly when the knife will release.

as far as the cs recon scout goes, I'm sure it's a good solid knife, but andywayne could probably chop it in half with his mastiff! lol

they were only splitting a small piece of that log and thats not a rare break, for heavy batoning on even good sturdy knives.
but a scrapyard/swamprat/busse could've split that log in half with a big enough baton.
