...but I love having quality gear. I don't use this knife to fix tanks or fight for our country- but you couldn't ask for a better camping/survival knife, even just for a regular joe. The craftsmanship and quality of this knife is apparent from the moment you open the box. I am among those who actually enjoys the nylon sheath, and I especially like the multi-tool pouch in which I can store my SOG PowerAssist. If my multi-tool is elsewhere it's a great place for a sharpener or other supplies.
