Sometimes the more "expensive" item is actually the cheaper buy.

The F1 is several times as expensive as a Clipper but and its a big but, it is also somewhat more than several times as durable.

I like the Clipper. It's "inexpensive" and would be a good buy at twice it's price. I think that it is a wonderful knife for slicing and dicing, whittling and futzing up sticks for a fire. Its great for using with a ferro rod. But I would purely hate to have to rely upon it as my only knife in a cold, wet, shivering, got to baton this large chunk of wood for dry firewood or die of hypothermia situation. One reckon's that one would break it.

The cheapest tool is the tool for the job. If its going to get broken, stolen or used only once then "inexpensive" is the way to go.

Unless, of course, your life depends on it. then buy the best that you can afford.
