Southey,

Thats the fuggliest "Junior Rambo wannabe" knife, complete with ineffective saw, stupid "tacticool point" and beautifully arrayed in "mall ninja" black I have ever seen. Does it come with a plastic special services badge for you to fill in your name with crayon?

This is not going well! My feelings are coming into this and unfortunately its the twelve year old mind set, mixed with a bit of gung ho ness that's creeping in lately. Never managed to get hold of a Genuiiiiiiiiine imitation SURVIVAL knife growing up, now I'm kind of feeling that I'd like to try a grown up version that, to me, looks as though it could actually be of use, not for SURVIVAL as we have discussed that Here but would actually like to take out and see if it can live up to it's own blurb? The knives I've used on SURVIVAL( read liked thread as to i have to type SURVIVAL like that) are a hunter sak(old style) and MOD SURVIVAL knife an Elwell golok and a pack of razor blades, not all together and not all alone either, except the razors for a couple of days. but i think i would really like to try a designed for purpose type knife, just to play with? does any of that make sense?

See what I ment about needing a support group!

 

[Shewie]

Will you strap it to your leg then Dave ?

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

I reccomend a cuppa tea, biscuit and a strong word with yerself

 

[TeeDee]

Right , when I say say 'Jump' I mean as in you've climbed to the top of the building and stepped out on the ledge , you can either take option A) The Stairs or option B) Quicker , but more painful.






< It doesn't look usable , and seriously Fugly>

It is a good bit more expensive over there than here.

Ugly? Oh h#ll yeah. But actually the saw works better than you may think especially in softer woods and bamboo. My only complaint was that it worked on the pull stroke only, but then it was a compromise of a working saw that wouldn't damage the hand when used as a draw knife. As for the point, or the rest of the knife for that matter, it was never designed to be "tactical" at all. It was his interpretation of a knife designed soley as a survival tool in in the bush in a one knife scenario. The tip was not designed to stab with it was designed to dig, gouge, and trough with and live through it. The only thoughts of penetrating flesh were in processing game. Skinning with it is interesting but other than that I had no problems using it. Personally I do prefer a more pointy knife. Not so much as an offensive tool but to bore small holes for a water filter or what have you. And it is definitely tough. I had the blade in an arc driving it through a large knotty cedar log and it went right back to true. TOPS does an awesome heat treat on that 5160 steel and the edge retention was great. No, it wouldn't be my personal first choice for a knife in the bush as I prefer a team of tools, however given the choice between the Hellion and this $275.00 custom Bushcraft knife with a 4" / 10cm x 1/8" / 3mm blade laying here on my desk for a long term, one knife scenario I'd easily choose the Hellion
