I am with you steelfan, I think that Dan already builds some pretty bad [censored] tactical knives, atleast that's why I am drawn to them. Though I am no "operator" nor "sniper/spec ops guy", I do approach my knife/gear purchases for strength and utility, oh and if it looks "tacticool" well then so much the better. One must "bug-out" in style right! Would something like the top hook as seen on the swamp mojo line, and here with the yard hook, but sharpened so as to meet the wire cutting needs work?
