Don't get me wrong I carry a SAK too but for the brutal beatings I give blades in the bush quality steel can't be beat.

For some I guess there is a look at me factor but for many it is mandatory to have good tools to do the job. No different than assembling an EDC kit with the best gear on the market because you know it will serve you well when it matters.

Of course cutting some cheeze at a picknick with an Opinel some may say is over kill you big tough cheeze slicer you <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

Its not about being tough and stupid for spending good money for a good product or is Doug's reccomendations for quality gear a mout point in this forum and on this site.
