If something like this came out with SYKCO steel and heat treating I'd be in Heaven. Has anyone ever seen it or heard of it. http://www.survival.com/atax.htm-Ron

"it was mediocre at doing a handful of things" ? Sounds a lot like their Tom Brown Tracker Model.

I saw one at a knife/gun show a couple years ago. it is no doubt a do everything contender. It felt very stout I bet the steal is good not as grand as SR77 but good for the tool. Jack of all trades, master at none.

I think it looks like yet another gimmick knife (yes, I went to the Hoods Woods website and read about it) like the Tom Brown Tracker but to each his own.

I'm admittedly intrigued. However, I don't know if I'm $230.00 intrigued. I guess I'd rather let someone else be the test subject. I can see where it has some applications in the bush. However, I can pretty much do the same with my S-6.

I'll stick with my S6, that does most of those jobs pretty well.. As I tend to take a Gerber Legend and make my other half carry a Gerber 650 we manage to mangle nuts pretty well as is! A yard Spax type thing would probably have a use though.
