| I don't really care for it, but hey - everyone has an opinion. It looks well made. If you like it and have the money, go for it. Here is a link to their website - even if you don't like the knife, it will be worth the time to check out their website - trust me, you will see what I mean when you get there. RED Scorpion Six Blades - home of the Predator WSK!

| Too expensive in my book. Your cash though. $219.95 is 1/3 of a decent firearm or about maybe 1500 rounds of ammo, depending on the caliber. Your call. I'd look around for a while first though.

| There is alot id say about that knife there that i wont but one thing i will say that is conclusive, a rockwell hardness of 57 is VERY low for a blade. In otherwords its pretty soft steel. To each his own i guess |

| I think it's cool looking but I don't care to own it. For what it cost I could by an SKS, 2 may be 3 Mossin Nagant rifles or a Mossberg Maverick 88 sawed off shotgun. hint, hint...A.H |

| I cant stand stainless steel knives. They are hard to put an edge on and when you do manage to get that edge on it loses it after a handfull of cuts. Mate for that kind of money you could have a knife built out of quality materials that will last a lifetime. Last edited by Nathan123; 03-06-2008 at 02:46 AM. Reason: spelling |

| I don't understand the reasoning for wanting that particular knife. But if your just looking for a knife that has or will have a collector value later, then I would say you might want to look at the Remington bullet knife. My son has about five of them and I know the value just keeps going up. My opinion would be no, spend the money on a good rifle or shotgun.

| SilverRun, thanks for the link to their site. Very nice.The knife would be overpriced for me but if you want it, go for it.

| Well I guess thats a resounding no. I am looking for a big carry knife. Lost my favorite skinning knife, and busted my big gerber. I dont know why I like that particular knife and I dont really want to spend that much on it because I got other stuff I am trying to get done. I guess it just looks good but I didnt notice that rockwell hardness rating. I have been looking for 2 good knives to replace those. I picked up a S&W 2 weeks ago and really liked it until I saw china stamped on the blade. Silverun--  If she comes with it I am ordering 2Last edited by soonerborn; 03-06-2008 at 12:30 PM. |
