You took you blackberry camping? come-on man, that's blasphemy.
How can you get away from it all when you take it with you?

The Army issued ones have weak tips for some "Army" work and the wooden handles have been known to split, but they otherwise are good little knives if you keep the jobs in par to what the knife was intended. I don't know the steel type, but I know you can chop branches with them easily without the blade edge bending.

Of course, if I break it I simply walk it over to the QM and get a brand new one in exchange so I tend to take less care of it as I would if I paid for it out of my own pocket.

Do you think it was the steel or the grind, or a combo of both? Hope it works out for you.
