Folks, all this discussion is unneccessary, I have found that most complex arguments can be broken down into very simple terms, and here, obviously, it's:
"Gentlemen prefer them. Professionals insist on them."
Can you just picture a "professional" about to go on a black op stamping his feet, saying: "No, no, no!!! It MUST be a MercWorx! I wont go unless somebody gets me a MercWorx Chile-Sniper with the satin, red micarta handle..."
Yes, i turn into quite a little smartass when i'm up late, sorry.
Also, am i the only one who realizes that MW is essentially marketing their knives as an upscale alternative to Striders? Did you see how on their website, they took several potshots directly at Strider and pointed out how they were better than Strider? Interesting.
