Do you still have this knife?

[SharpSpears]

@southernfryedyankee Yes and I don't plan on letting it go.

@SharpSpears I hear ya Brother, if for whatever reason you decide to throw me at the top of the list

@SharpSpears sounds like a pretty reliable knife and a sandwich sounds good right about now :)

@SharpSpears It would have been about 180-200 when it first came out in in 2003 or 2004. I got mine in 2008. And they discontinued them so limited run. So what I paid for it plus the sheath was a pretty decent deal. It is spendy, but it is definitely my favorite of all my knives. If I could only have one it would be this one hands down.

@jacobninja25 I've done most things that you wouldn't really want to do with most knife. I've tipped pried into large downed trees. Batoned a log to make a bench (and a squirrel dead fall trap) that was about 6-7 inches in diameter and 3 feet in length. Batoned to about the last 2 inches or so, took my DMCG and using both knives, pried the log into to nice even splits. Made a bench, sat down on it, made a fire, and then proceeded to eat my sandwich. :D

@SharpSpears haha not very often, sorry i just like more bang for my buck literally i would not mind having that knife at all but a little pricey for me, have you battoned with it? i bet its great

[SharpSpears]

@jacobninja25 That is quite true. Though, how often do you use an AK-47 in the woods or on a camping trip?

[jacobninja25]

@SharpSpears damn i can buy a ak-47 with that kinda money but it is a sexy lookin knife

@Monger4142 280-300 I think. Maybe a little more. Somewhere around there. Came with a kydex that'll cost around 40-50 bucks. However, it was a still a great deal considering I saw a few newer generations (without the awesome looking micarta) go more with out a sheath.
