yes, on the one hand i agree in buying quality hard use gear when it gets just that, repeated hard use. however, on the other hand, i cant see buying a Wiggys or a CRK or a Wilson Combat just to thorw in the back of the truck for a once or twice emergency use. in that situation I think the CC bag, mora/opinel and mossberg respectively have their place. they will get the job done once or twice and if i have to throw them away after one or two hard uses then it was money well spent. not to mention fewer tears when the truck is broken into. just a thought
