Not me..but some people have lots of cash, if you have spair cash to spend though mate get the knife you want! You know you'll love it and it's a collector piece
The thought of taking out such a pricey bit of kit and accidently breaking it though...

I really don't see anyone breaking a TOPS 1095 or 5160 knife through normal abuse. I have put several of them through some reeeally rough paces over the last couple years. they laugh and ask for more. That's how i became such a TOPS fan. You might be surprised at what all I did with the last one I tested before the DART but since I just sent that material to my editor in hopes of getting it published i can't really talk about it yet. But I will hang onto the knife and bring it up for discussion later. It only has a 6" blade of 3/16 1095 steel and I was extremely pleased and impressed with how it held up, and i was harder on it than I have ever been in an internet review.
If it's tough enough to take the abuse and you really like it then get it, I'd love to see it put through its paces!
Ahaa! the voice of reason,, Keep your eyes peeled for a super southey sales thread chaps, I shall put it up tomorrow day time!!
Please help an idiot to buy a sharp thing he doesn't need
.......I hope that doesn't contravene any self promotin rules?
It really was. She just commandeered my laptop. Took me a good 15 minutes to get it back!!!
Hahaha brilliant! the second post had a sad wavy, in a kind I'm sorry but not really wavy way!
I have recently rediscovered the versatility of a large 'do-it-all' knife, I used to use the old Schrade X1TB, that had a saw back too similar to the Hellion, I could never really get used to it so now I have just taken delivery of a Schrade SCHF9 (one of Mistwalkers???) from Hennie, it's not on their website but they ordered it in just for me, bless 'em.
It is a considerable investment of funds for me but was still about a third of the price of the Hellion
just my tuppence worth
HTH

Looks like Cold steel must have sponsored that episode. Hes using the Kukri machete and she's carrying an OSS
I hear that if you buy one of these ninja fighter, tacticool, stealth coated knives that you get a certificate and badge inductiing you into the Yankee Speckeled Farces. H.A.L.O. Superman and Batbelt optional at extra cost.
Truly a knife only a Bear could love and love and love again. If yer gonna git one, git the rest of the outfit too.....

That is an awsome load out list dude!
From what I understand the saw backs of this kind are for knocking up traps, using it to make notches and the like, rather than cutting branches and stuff.
