I hate this knife with a vengeance, being a knife nut. I saw too many British soldiers hauling this thug of a knife around. It can prise off the turret of a tank. It can't cut butter even when hot and it weighs a ton.

The early versions were marginally better being of a thinner stock. Many I saw were reworked. You won't break it. Save your money and buy a bar of stock steel.

Qbi;
You should look at the Fallkniven line of knives. The F1 and the S1 have been apporved as survival knives by some of the U.S. Military as well as the Swedish and Finnish military. I you want to have your friend make you a knife then have him look at the Fallknivens...they are a proven disign and tough as they come and the VG-10 steel is quite stain resistant too.
