I bought a Kirby lambert SNAP from htm, because I really digged the grenade handle design, and they were on sale for what thought was a very affordable price at right around $130.
I wasn't impressed with craftsmanship at all. Blade grind was horrible, like 45 degrees and barely existent. Thing was like a chisel and couldn't cut mustard. I spent a lot of time regrinding the metal to make it useable, and still have it, but for their price tags I would never buy another HTM. There's a reason Darrell Ralph unaffiliated himself from the company, and now I know why.

I tried them out. Got the bullwhip several years ago. Everything was fine except for the TERRIBLE lock rock. I bent the lock bar in and that helped somewhat but it still has lock rock. I heard they upped their QC since I bought it but don't know for sure. I still need to send that sucker in to be fixed.
