It`s just a knife for my very small belt pack. When I go out somewhere I know I need a knife I bring the heavy custom stuff. There are extra non-folding knifes and usually an axe in my baclpack. Just trying to keep it light, but I know the times I forget a knife and need one, I need something solid.

I was just reading a letter on the Tops site from a guy who broke open a toilet door with a 747 Magnum, so I thought why not get something the grandkids can enjoy. Could serve as an extra knife for someone who didn`t bring one, too. It seems when I think back, most of what I put in my kit could have been very useful in many situations I`ve been in. So I`m just looking for a back-up, but I`m a bit weird that way. I don`t really want to own stuff that hasn`t been made with love and care and can last generations. In the end it usually ends up cheaper, too. And better for the environment.

There isn`t much else in my kit, so I`m ok spending a lot on a knife. Even if it`s my emergency kit, that`s the piece I`ll probably bring out a little bit in non-emergencies. All hardware is considered lifetime investments for me. Unlike caviar it doesn`t get used up.lol

So far the Tops Knives 747 Magnum and the Cold Steel AK-47 look interesting.

Not much chance to check out anything here in Norway, but I`m taking a trip to Montreal soon and everyting islike half price there compared to here.

I`ll take a look at your suggestions.

Thanks
