Wussamatter Geoff, that big ole nasty SERE was too small for ya?
I still have it BTW, I am in process of reconfiguring the office at the house and am going to put it and a few other niceties in an mahogany and glass case on the wall, very nice blade. Thanks again, and buy the damn GB, when you get tired of it I will buy it off you.

GB= great knife.
I used mine to split kindling, chop up some small branches to start a camp-fire, then I cut a couple of chickens into peices along with peeling garlic cloves to cook in my dutch oven for dinner... GREAT knife!

P.S. ---- This was definitely using this knife for purposes it was not intended for... It is one SERIOUS folder... Could do just about anything, I am sure... but it works great even for minor camp-chores, too.

About the funniest looks I got with my GB is when I was at my sons soccer game there was a couple of kids wearing baseball cleats with a cleat on the front of the shoe which is'nt allowed in the league. One of the fathers was trying to cut one off with a swiss army knife that just did'nt have enough umph to get it done. I whipped out my GB and it slid through like butter. I ended up cutting cleats off of 6 kids shoes while people just stood and watched with that "Holy SH#*" look on their faces. I though the "soccer moms" were going to bust their spandex. Not a really "high speed" story but it was funny

Mine has been within 3 feet of me at all times since I got it. Let's see, I have cut rope, weedeater cord, boxes, rags, wire ties, chopped some wood, broke a window with the butt,pried two doors open, and the other day I didn't take the cable cutters with me when I got off of the engine at a wreck so I used the GB to cut the battery cables on the car. I did have to touch up the edge after that last one though! Imho, it is the best folder I have ever had, and I plan onkeeping it my EDC for a long time.
