... very stoked about this knife. I saw the TOPS version and wanted it. I saw the Beck version and wanted it. I even saw the Jensen Elite version and wanted it. I saw a variation on the theme from Strider / Dyer in their Tiger and wanted one. After all this, I found out the original design was chisel grind and I passed. Regardless of who makes it, the design is obviously very popular and gets requested a lot. It is just like any of the R.E.K.A.T. knives like the Hobbit fighter, etc... that still has custom makers doing the design. I just decided the knife wasn't for me, though. I am sure anybody could make one but if they wanted the original prop from the movie, they will have to wait till United comes out with theirs. I, personally, would want a knife that works and not some prop shown in a movie. The knife is intriguing and I would have liked to have tested it out. I don't need another chisel grind, though. Had one too many and they were not to my liking. I hope this knife takes off as there hasn't been too many real knives that have made it from our community to Hollywood. That would be something nice to see.
