Hello everybody,

What do you think about de ASK gen 2 from Red Scorpion?

I like the look of it and it look pretty strong...

Thank for your opinions

Looks like it could take a beating. Uses tried and true 440c. Nothing wrong there.
 
Oye... if you search these forums for the past Red Scorpion threads... you will learn more than anyone here can teach in a single post... Red Scorpion is the "Mantis Knives" of... well.. scorpion knives?
 
As others have intimated, Red Scorpion has a less than stellar reputation at BF.
 
I saw on youtube a red scorpion ask and its looks like Bear grylls knife.
I am actully looking out for this. I read something about bayley knife.

I doubt that RS6 was the original designer of that knife. More like a cheap copy. The real deal is much better. Bear Grylls is peddling a Gerber LMF style knife now and Bayley is no longer making the original Bear Grylls knife, but you can still find it on the site, minus the logo.

I've got a RS6 Raven WSK and the companion ESK. DO NOT BUY FROM RED SCORPION SIX, the grind on the Raven is way off (on an angle) on one side. When I e-mailed them about it they said it was purely cosmetic (they later admitted that they had none in stock and could not replace it). The companion ESK has a hollow handle with removable scales, when I went to unscrew the side to fill the compartment, the head of the screw FELL OFF. The fit and finish is terrible, the blade has RED SOORPION SIX engraved on the side and they're so blunt out of the box you can press your fingers against them and run them back and forth.
 
Why buy crappy import garbage from a scumbag, when there are so many good knives from reputable folks available.
 
Bought mine years ago, wanted a WSK, didn't know any better, didn't do my research and paid the price.

Learnt my lesson though, most of my knife funds go to ESEE, Bussekin, DPX and Becker now.
