Chris<br><br>If you like the A1 you might want to take a look at the SOG line. They have a blade (that is called something like "pentagon" or "government agent" or something like that) that has a profile very close to the A1, same grippy handle, built like a rock, and for less money, too.<br><br>Remember, if you find something you like, buy 2 because when you lose or wear out the 1st one, they won't make them anymore . . .
