Thank you for being civil.

Also, I did not lie about my location. I live just south of Macon in Georgia, perhaps my ISP is located there or I get routed through to there. The only reason I PMed you is because of my stepfather's firewall.
EXCELLENT RESPONSE MR. SMISSON! Absolutely outstanding!

Now, we can discuss the knife. I have never had one, but I looked at the pictures - it's not for me. For one, since Mr. Harsey and Mr. Strider have educated me, I see blades in a different light.

A knife is a tool, as so eloquently stated above. I don't need a 7" knife for a tool. Anything I can do with a 7" blade, I can do with a 4" blade.

I have also learned that I can get an acceptable tool for $150. For another $150 I can get one I can pass on to my son.

And since I am a grown up now, I don't tend to lose my shit as much as I used to, so I am more inclined to go with quality.

If you do join the Army, you won't need a 7" knife either. I would suggest you get something you can reall use - a Swiss Army Knife or a Leatherman mutli-tool (don't vote for Tim for President).

Better yet, spend the money on running shoes and a chin-up bar. Or take your gurlfriend out to dinner and a movie.

If you just have to have one, save up the money and get a real one.

You asked for an opinion, there's mine.

Welcome to PS.com and enjoy the board.
