Honestly? People take that knife seriously?

People are always trying to stretch the lengths of credulity. Wasn't that the same with Hal Gibbons knives? Great designs but to see any real enthusiast trying to use them for more than a movie prop or collection was just ridiculous.

There is a reason why fixed blades like the Mora, Gerber LMF, Ka-Bar and the Pathfinder listed above are styles of choice of hunters and military for decades.

The more instruction something needs, generally the more useless it becomes.
