Arch, I agree you with the price thing. AA is a pure fighter and I like it just for that reason; there is no sign of pretending it to be a multi purpose knife.

The price to performance ratio is appealing me too. My first and so far the only SY knife is the War Dog and it was more expensive than I thought but I think it's worth the money. Now I'm waiting for the 911. I want to try the American camping knife idea. We are used to use puukko and small axe.
