OK, but what does the expense of an S30V blade get me? And if a Mk3 is "a high-end "slicer"", slicer of what? I'm looking for a dependable, all-around camp knife that can take a lot of punishment, not just slice onions. The Kbar I usually camp with is older than I am (I'm 39) and will probably outlast me. I'm looking for a couple of extra blades for various BOB's and can't afford a single Mk3, let alone 2 or 3.

Though I really like the looks and design of the Mk3 and have a lot of respect for Doug Ritter and his designs, I could spend that money on other equipment that would be more useful in a BOB than a single knife.
