The reason I say that Von Gruff is that I have some quite wide experience here and have generaly been consistently disappointed with a few supposed "top end" knives. I was given as a present a knife from a top London gun maker (they didn't make it themselves I assume). Took it to Australia when on a hunt, we did 10 days fishing first, day one caught something reasonable (queenfish from memory) gutted it with this "knife". By evening when we got back to camp entire blade was corroded. Took another custom knife to Tanzania, both scales cracked on first buffalo skinning ! Nitro X is also correct, use your knife yourself, locals will break ANYTHING knife wise. Currently using a Benchmade Osborne folder with S90V steel and so far no issues,
best
Mike
