<br>I was also looking for a survival knife to fill the position of Doug's Sebenza in my gear. $350 is a bit steep for me, but there is a good knife available for $26-$30 that has a similar configuration to the sebenza at an affordable price. The Kershaw Vapor and Vapor II come with a 3" or 3.5" drop point blade with all metal construction and frame-lock strength. Of course, it doesn't have the premium materials and custom-level fit and finish of the sebenza, but it's a good knife for "the rest of us" and an amazing value at that price. It's all stainless steel construction with the blade in AUS-6A. There are plenty of "better" knives on the market for this purpose, but IMHO, you would have to at least double or triple this price to start looking at them.<br><br>I bought the large one recently and can vouch for it's quality. It also seems to have a bit of a following over on bladefourms.com. I found the thumb-stud a bit sharp and hard on my thumb, so I chucked it in my drill and spun it against a sharpening stone. Now the knife is near perfect. A quick search on the internet will reveal plenty of sources. I found mine at a local knife shop. <br>
