Again, thanks everybody. I am highly impressed with the durability of this knife. For once in my life I have a blade I'm not scared to actually use. I've broken several knives over the years... Gerbers, Bucks, a couple of Schrades, a Kershaw... one of my Gerber MK 1s I broke just by dropping it. Broke 3/8" off the tip. I did lots of reading before I finally settled on this one.

Now... as soon as I get paid, I'm probably going to order another sheath, as this cordura drop-leg job doesn't conceal very well. So I'll be in touch with you soon, Rainwalker. I already have your site bookmarked!

edited to add: I figured I'd better clarify before somebody thinks I'm planning to carry this big knife every day... that's not it. I'm not a knife fighter. A knife is the last thing I'm ever going to take to a knife fight. That's why I carry a pistol. I just want to be able to throw on an over-shirt and cover it up when I'm out at my parents' house on the back 40 clearing brush or woods, and decide to head to the store for a drink or something. Big knives tend to scare people.
