Well look, I suppose the thread is officially hijacked but it was regarding A QUESTION BY NEW MEMBER 'DROPOUT' WHO WANTS TO DROP ABOUT $300 ON A WILSON COMBAT KNIFE AND IF THAT IS A CRAZY THING TO DO.

I never understood the desire for 'combat' knives for any reason more than familiarity with the tool from past professional experience. And that's okay. I won't be high and mighty here, I am very fond of Gerber Mark 2's, but really what are those good for off a battlefield?

I recently got to play with a Gerber LMF and it was an awesome knife. The blade seemed small you don't need long blades for most outdoor craft. The butt cap can pound or be pounded on, it carries its own built in sharpener. Plus its under a hundred. It will be my next fixed blade purchase.
