Well put.. I'd agree an INFI S6 or S7 would be worth pretty much any price to me.. I'd buy it as a user and use it. But carefully! To me digging in the dirt and machete work are best done with a cheap Tramontina machete. However a FBM, S6 or even better a DF are great for making digging sticks and chopping down trees! A really good edc is worth the money too- Mora's are very good but I'd still take my SS4 in preference. The blade strength is worth the money to me..
