    I was afraid it was going to be a, "Hey ya'll! Watch this!" moment.

    After following that link, and seeing what looks to be a gold finished handle, I was thinking of "Pimp-tacular" as a description. OOohhh, all goldy, and silvery, and shiny.

    Cool Harumph!

    The ad reads: "Rambo wished he had this knife!" OK guys at HF, reality check time! Rambo is a fictatious character made famous by Hollywood & is played by actor Sly Stallone who has enough money to buy the whole freakin' HF Franchise if he had a mind to. Even those "hollow handled" jobs were better made than that POC you're trying to hawk. NOTE: The ad reads "stainless steel", what KIND of stainless steel? Bottom line guys, you want to buy a great survival knife for $10 to $20 check out the Swedish Moras on Rick's store.

    The best survival knife is the one you have on hand when you have to actually survive, a knife is nothing more than a tool. Any knife with more than a 6 to 8 inch blade is useless for survival in my opinion. A good knife depends on your needs, where you are going and what you will be doing. That is why I have several different knives, but in the end remember: 1. You get what you pay for, and 2. it's just a knife and a tool. The most powerful weapon or tool that you have is your mind and when in the wilds of anywhere a strong will and heart is what will save you. THINKING rationally will save you, preparation will save you.
    Just my two cents worth.

    I don't know if I agree with that. That Bear Gryllis survival knife sort of comes to mind. The rest is spot on for sure.

    I would think with it not being a full tang it wouldn't hold up to to much abuse.
