    Cool What!!!

    $200? Now I know how he was able to buy the Humvee! He probably skis in the alps with Ranger Rick! Oh well, it's still cheaper than Bear Grylls' knife!

    $200 ??? That's about the dumbest thing I have seen since the Capt. Midnight decoder ring. If anyone I know whipped one of those things out he would be laughed out of the state. If that actually sells he can buy a lodge in the Alps, or maybe he will just use the darn thing to build one.

    Am I really a terrible person for wanting to see what would happen if that crusty lava stuff he's standing on would give way? (Can you say computer generated? I knew you could).

    Yeh, I'm going to pay 200 bucks for a weird kind of knife that is going to lose all those fancy blade markings. Oh, oh, better yet, pay 700 bucks for a knife that is promoted by some faker.

    LOL!

    That knife dosent even look special It dosent even say its titanium or somthin cool like that its just a regular knife that comes with a print of Bear's signature for 700 I think that the titanium knife was better at least it sounded like it was special

    no no: bear grylles personaly chopped down a coast redwood with each one, and hand carved it into a ballista to hunt elk.

    When the show first came out, wasn't he using a Gerber? I remember my wife saying that his folder looked just like mine.

    He saw me stripping muscadines in the mountains with my knife and copied me. Not only is he a faker, he's a copy cat.

    Smile Saws...good...

    Yup, I havta agree with Survivalhike on the Sierra Saw as a real cool little woodsman's tool. Handy dandy, light, small and very efficient. Oh, and cheap (under $10) to boot.
    Have a super one...

    I have the Browning version of that saw. Very nice, wickedly sharp!!! They both have the same style blades, a sorta offset barracuda tooth with very sharp points plus a bone blade. Nice for light duty work.

    Let us know how you like it.

    I haven't owned one before so I'm curious to see how it holds up. I ordered them last week so should arrive this week. The blade slides back in the handle, which I like and it's pretty light overall. About 3.4 oz. from what I've read.

    The Browning version I have is a folding lock-blade. Good for small limbs, 1-2 inches in diameter. Many of the hunters I know like it.
