Why Relentless knife for survival

I was checking out those ESEE knives, and it is probably very good blade , but poor design. I would like to have something , what is good blade and least have an impressing design as Relentless. Maybe is too fancy or "toy" for knife enthusiastic people, but I just love the way of looking. Specially the M4X Punisher , I mean if I ever have to use it for self defense , it has a powerful "think about it " effect 
So I am looking something like that , not a butter knife looking "excellent" blade...

You can get the tops version of the M4x for about $215.00.

1 more question, and I will leave you alone guys
That is screaming mall ninja. Ugly too.
I never going to understand, why people judging others by taste. What, we all suppose to follow some main style? And laughing about others? I mean you saying for Mall Ninjas, but might you have some sick taste as well... few sites said , Tops makes a great knives, even on this site, I just don't get it some people how they can get that brave to criticized others , because they don't like something. I have a friend in Afghanistan , who said some of the guys bought knives from Tops, and Relentless , and they satisfied . So they are ninjas too? But you are not, in front of your ps3???

As for the price and benefits of s30V steel.....well, correctly prepared it's far above most stainless steels in durability, and edge holding ability.
Further if you Zone temper it, which I do to each knife, you get a stainless knife with high breakage resistance, and high edge holding ability that will endure extreme use for a life time..
Even further if you apply
Hand Forging, Triple Thermo quenched and drawn
Cryogenic freeze, and then Zone temper it, you end up with one wicked
super strong piece of steel that will endure continued extremes and last you a few lifetimes.
seriously ? this guy is handforging differentially HT'd S30V blades. this is priceless.

In response to repeated comments about pricing: How ludicrous! If we have time to peruse forums and create collections of any kind, then we are clearly able to accommodate the pricing of an item that is completely made by hand. A night for two at the movies is $30. Entertainment-wise, it is difficult to leave your house for a day of enjoyment without dropping $100. The prices reflect quality materials, craftsmanship, customer service, and, as with everything on the market, the economy. We should applaud the survival of craftsmen and support the cause!

Tops produced the knives, under contract. There are a few originals out there, though. I have a Tops version. It's a beast, cosmetically speaking. I don't actually use it - I have it for collector / display purposes.

. . . a guy named Master Sgt.Brian Carlson...another professional soldier and war vet who was put in charge of all basic and advanced training for the Army, answering directly to a General at a FT. in S Carolina. led me to making military style knives with the same insides as my Bounty Hunter."
Brian Carlson was Command Sgt. Major (not Master Sgt.) at Ft. Drum. That made him the top noncom at that base, home of the 10th Mtn. Div. He was also Command Sgt. Mjr. at Ft. Jackson, S.C. , a training center for the Army. That made him top post noncom. I doubt that he was in charge of all basic and advanced training for the Army. I think you will find that made him an very important adviser to the officer in charge of training at Ft. Jackson. Or at least the General thought he was in charge.
CSM Carlson, was a Battalion CSM at Fort Drum 1 BN 32nd Infantry, How do I know, because I was in the same Battalion, so he was not the top Non Com of the base that would be the Division CSM which he was not, he left Fort Drum to go back to Fort Jackson, not sure of his position there.

Why Relentless Knives USA for survival...

The pictures didn't sell me. What's particularly "survival" about these cutting tools?
The top one seems to have the holes on it for lashing the knife onto a stick and making a spear. Couldn't one use the knife to make the stick into a spear? Now you got two tools and you don't throw your survival knife away at something that could run away with your survival knife stuck in it.
And is that a finger choil or sharpening choil on the top one? If its a finger choil and you choke up on it, where does your thumb go?
As a representative of a company promoting his knives...sell me! :thumbup:
