No worries Andrew. I didn't mix them up I just tried to address both posts with my reply. My comment on the $15 knife was simply a curiosity. Many people buy expensive knives and then don't really see why they cost so much compared to their Buck or CRKT knife that does everything they ever need it to...So, I just wonder what prompts them to spend the $ in the first place. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hopefully you like the knife enough to keep it and if not, sell it and try another that may be more to your liking. Most important thing is to know what you are planning to use the knife for and then know the specs of the knife before you buy and that way you will already know if it will work for what you intend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The only way to experience the difference is to take the plunge and buy one. You seemed to take my post as saying something along the lines of "Why buy a War Dog when a $15 knife will do." What I was saying is now I will be able to see what the War Dog can do that a $15 knife cannot and I will have to see if that difference is worth the price to me.

The War Dog is what I have been shopping for in a knife with the only exception being the thickness. I decided to take the plunge anyway. If it doesn't work for me I can always sell it. I knew what I was getting into with this purchase except for the handle gaps. That would have been nice to know before I ordered but as I said so far it seems to resist rust just fine.
