How about em? Reliability, size, sharpness, steel? They look like they are good and are certainly affordable, but I dunno. Please advise.

Reliability - very strong - pry bar strong. Indistructable polymer handle and sheath.

Size - just about perfect for a combat/survival knife. Light and well balanced.

Sharpness - razor sharp, but the steel is a bit soft, so after use sharpen. However they sharpen easily.

Steel - a nickel spring steel.

They look great and are very affordable - $35.

I both collect and use them. The steel is not rust proof. Liberal applications of CLP Breakfree is recommended.

A great knife for the money.

Oh, and I forgot, the handguard also doubles as a bottle opener, beer bottle opener that is. Those Austrians - man you gotta love that!

1) Check www.bladeforums.com We know guns, they know knives. :)

2) It's a $35 knife. You get what you pay for. It depends on what you are looking for too. As a spare, car blade, or if you just like it for some reason, maybe. For any sort of primary blade, not for me, thanks. :)

LOVE MINE! My Dad gave it to me as a BD/Xmas present years ago, when his PD switched to the Glock pistol. (As a bonus , I got his two Pythons , a 4" and a 2 1/2", for 600 for the pair!) It has gutted several deer, a moose, opened many a beer/soda bottle, went to the field with me in the Army, ( I was not issued a bayonet- REMF unit:rolleyes: ), been used as a pry bar, and a saw. Always comes thru with flying colors:) BadDadBrad is right about lubing them, Break Free does the trick;) Get one, you'll not regret it!:D

I am sure these are easy enough to buy on the internet, but you don't see them retail much. I have been collecting Glock field knives for about 5 years, and they all have the saw back blade. This is my latest, an olive drab smooth back blade. The saw is really handy and works well, I just think this smooth blade is pretty cool.
