Reinhardt, I had one, briefly. It is in the same philosophy as the Tom Brown Tracker, Chris Janowskie's Ranger and the Russian Spetznats survival machet. They are the non folding answer to a Swiss Army Knife addressing multi tasks with varying degrees of success and reflecting oftentimes very specific use scenarios. With one exception, I found the above tools at odds with my real world needs. On a personal level I know you have a decent kit allready. At your age I would invest my money in some adventures. I have few material reminders of my misspent youth, but oh the memories <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
