There has been an interesting developement in my knife-life. I have never been a steel freak, one who jumps on the bandwagon of the latest steel fad, the current craze being VG-10 I suppose. Not comfortable carrying and using (hard use that is) expensive knives. Not a tactical type. Geez I can't remember the last time I had to remove a sentry. Old Timers just seem to be on hand when there's work to be done. Old Timers have bailed(and baled) me out of trouble more than once. My Pocket Beast has undergone some scrutiny this week-end and I was shocked to find that there is nothing wrong with it. This may sound like an odd thing to say but bear with me. It cuts,real well as a matter of fact, all types of material from heavy guage fiberglass straps to a peach for lunch. It folds and locks securely,YES SECURE!!! if you've got one of these give it a test , give it two. It sharpens easily and takes a razor edge. Rides comfortably just about anywhere you'd care to put it. The only thing I can think of that I don't like about it, it sounds cheap. Yeah I know stupid complaint. Listen, the bottom line here is I want some opinions do these knives suffer a lack of respect becuase of simple snobbery or what?
