Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a knife I won't mind beating the crap out of (which may include light prying). I just can't bring myself to abuse my $100+ knives (especially with prying), so I've been looking at the Cold Steel Ultimate Folding Hunter. The specs seem to fit the bill for an affordable yet reasonably tough knife. With a 4mm thick saber ground blade, it seems like it would stand up to some abuse and still be a reasonable cutter.
So I'm here to ask for any opinions you guys have about this knife. Please refrain from bashing the company, because I'm just not interested in hearing about their ridiculous ad campaign (which, for the record, I think is pretty stupid) or whatever. If you own one of these, your opinion would be very appreciated. I have already searched the forums and internet with little success. Thanks! Other suggestions for cheap, tough (4mm+ blade stock) knives are also welcome.
EDIT: Is the blade flat or hollow ground? I've seen pictures where it looks hollow and pictures where it looks flat. I have also read descriptions saying both as well.
