Looks like there's going to be a "Hack Bear Claw", a monster version of the Cub. Maybe... whatever. I will believe it when I see it. I am not interested in hearing about any more "You can't guess what is coming" flaunt and tease games. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> I am however, concerned about these "HACK" blades. Based on the extremeley high price / EXTREMELY LOW Bang for the Buck of the Bear Cub, I sense Jerry is charging about full custom shop prices for "HACK" blades. I don't buy and can't justify LE blades as they are TOO high priced. So, I sure as heck don't have any interest in Custom Shop priced stuff - especially if "HACK" blades are "Training" practice blades. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> - Marketed as such, tagged as such and should devalue as such. IMO - selling "HACK" / training / practice grind blades is a smart way to not waste material for Jerry. But, to me, I "CLEARLY" view something sold as practice/training blades should be "DISCOUNTED" and sold similarly to "SECONDS". I know Jerry refers to the "HACK's as having a "true custom nature", but I don't see it. And I don't see paying $150 shipped (or so) for a 5.5" oal nail picker. If Jerry sold a bunch of them, them more power to Jerry. But, if the Bear Cub is an indication of what larger HACK blades might cost, I am not interested in HACK stuff. If Jerry doesn't "Bring" real world knives at real world prices, I am not intersted. An SFNO with satin finish and CE edge at under $300 and you have my attention. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> .

Exactly. We only lost hundreds or thousands in our failed ventures. But it you screw up really big, so big that it threatens the entire economy, you can get millions and chumps like us will bail you out!

I ordered a Hack, because I felt like I would need it. I'm optimistic that I'll like it too. It was a little pricey for it's size, but if nothing else seems like a good investment, people rarely seem to loose money on INFI. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
On another note, I'd love to get the opportunity to get my hands SFNO, some day... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I'm certain at this point that I'll be using my HACK and NMFBM both. At least for making pants to start with. I am anxious in seeing what the NMFBM is like as a chopper too. I have a feeling that the HACK might make a great necker though, if you like that kinda thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
