The Tali-Whacker is one of my favorite blades...I want a beater one as I have not the nerve to disturb the one I have. I hate tantos and since the TW is more curved tip I love it. And it is the Precursor to Swamp Rat as being the FIRST SR 101 blade...I actually wanted to keep it nice and shiny....but I tell you what.....it makes you feel like going to war...that knife was imbued with a warrior spirit. I pray to the gods at night that some one break into my home while I hold it.....they will know what that knife was designed for!
