Wilson Tactical Knives: Opinions?
Any of you guys have experience with Wilson Tactical Knives?
http://www.wilsontactical.com/
I have a bunch inbound so I will be doing some T&E studies myself, but I was wondering if any of the members here had any feedback.

Haven't tried these knives in the field or in my free time, but I think they look a wee bit too fancy to be sturdy and useful in the long run. But those push daggers were indeed nice.
It's 05.30 in the morning where i'm at, so I am not going to read up on how great some salesman thinks these knives are. But it would be nice to hear what the regular man-at-arms has to say about them

H.G., I have no experience with the knives you ask about.
Genseric,
The knives look strong and fairly well built to me and not too fancy.
Knives have to be judged by how they work in relation to the amount paid. Most of that comes from stuff we can't see in a picture.
If a knife company is going to be in business and stay in business, the "salesman" had better say good things about the product he represents.
If the product has problems, the market learns about it and the company will either make the needed changes or not do so well.
Sometimes the problems a manufacturer has are generated by comments like yours and you admit not having tried the knives.
I also think the ad copy was probably done by someone above "salesman".

I have the Tactical Fighter II and it is a robust knife and holds a good edge. I use it routinely and really like the knife. The son will be taking it to Afghanistan with him in a couple of months so we will see how it holds up to grunt duty.

The Cop Tool looks pretty darned handy.

Does less and costs more than my leatherman wave.

I have a Leatherman, too, but it requires two hands.
