I have wanted a retribution for a while now. I ended up finding scrapyard and Busse right around the time I was ready to pull the trigger. looks like a nice heavy duty folder. and I love a recurve....

i managed to pick up a few ontario xm18's off eBay all for under $60 each. on top of it being a steal at that price they are extremely heavy duty built knives. I'd have to grab that one to fit this scenario. overbuilt is the word for those...felt like I could take it to a cinder block wall if I needed to. I ended up giving one of mine to my dad who put it away because it was too big and heavy for pocket carry. He ended up with my Kershaw blur later but still has it. I gave my other one to a cousin who thinks somebody lifted it from him. for the size it was actually pretty comfortable to wear everyday. I dont know about the steel but I didn't baby them when I had them and I was really impress with how the held up. the knife came super sharp and was really well built and finished. Im pretty sure i would have been impressed even with the $150 price tag.
