got mine for about $40 at Harbor Freight... Harsey designed knives, even the 'inexpensive' ones made by a legendary company in PDX are not so inexpensive...
How is it than an inexpensive piece of shop gear can be used to make knives and to break them? I think I'll name my vise Kali or Shiva.

I hate to disagree, but vices are expensive, by definition.
Vises may not be.

Guys,
I realized that this was the wrong thread to ask that question. I apologized and moved on. I never expected so much flack.
I digress....

I have the paperwork to get one but have never done so...I guess because it's a new deal and wasn't part of the process when I went thru the Q.
Besides, I never carried expensive knives in the field (ok, one Randal in RVN but a friend gave it to me) because I always abused them opening c rats or whatever.
What the hell do you do with it?

I got it because i can and most people can't. Once i had it in hand, i was really glad i bought it. It is one finely crafted blade.
