Sorry dude, I dont have any experience with one, I just saw that no one replied to you and seeings how I have a hankering for one of these too, I thought Id drop ya a note. We just got back from vacation in tennessee and we stopped at Smokey Mountain Knives, they had a 0100 in the case, let me tell you, it took all I had to not whip out the Visa. They wanted $258 for it and with Tenn's 7% sales tax, I tought it a bit on the salty side. It was smaller than I thought, I guess I imagined a huge "Rambo" bowie knife, I liked the size, seems more managable. Not a small knife either. Anyway, dont mean to waste your time, hope someone replies with their experiences.
