In a trade with Newt Martin I ended up with this Wonderful Martin Knives of Texas MCEII hollow handle survival knife.I am a big fan of carbon steel and this 9.5"x1/4" bowie is 5160. The has to be round to hold the nylon cord hollow handle is knurled Stainless steel. Newt brags he has NOT had a broken one yet! The leather sheath is TOP quality Texas saddlemaker work and has a kewl diamond hone steel striker thing thats looks like it could be used as a wedge.I was very skeptical about saw teeth as the original Lisle Rambo saw did NOT work well . The MCEII's saw works VERY well ! The knife obviously is produced by machining but the knife arrived hair popping sharp with perfect grind lines, perfect build quality and perfect oxide blasted finish! This knife is going in my likely to have around me bugout bag!

I like it. I have always wanted one of those to go in my camping bag.
