I paid $80 a couple years ago for this knife with the survival sheath. This knife rocks, it's super though. You can beat the heck out of it and it won't break. I only wish I got the regular version because the survival sheath is redundant weight. In short trips it will hold an edge really well, and I always bring a flint with me to start fires. So I have additional 2 ounces on my backpack that I don't really need. I like this knife so much that at $30, I'm cosidering getting another one here with the regular sheath just so I drop 2 ounces off my pack weight. Oh, just remember that with any high carbon steel you have to wash and dry the knife every time you use it. I also rub it with olive oil when I get home, before putting it back in the drawer, otherwise it'll rust. Buy with confidence, this is worth your money.

I never thought about it becoming rancid, thanks. I did a little research after reading your suggestion. I think I'll stick with olive oil. The amount I leave on the blade is minimal to change the taste of food or to make me sick; the biggest problem with rancid olive oil is that it loses its health properties when rancid. And as far as mineral oil, although it's considered safe, it's still a petroleum product. I know it's used to treat some stomach problems, but you're not even supposed to take it within two hours before a meal. So between minimal amounts of either olive or mineral oil getting into my food, if any of them had any impact on my body (so minimal it's unlikely), I would rather it be a tiny rancid taste than an upset stomach. Besides, I'd rather put rancid olive oil in my body than a petroleum distillate any day. I really do appreciate your comment because it made me look into it. Aloha and mahalo from Hawaii, Léo

I guess it's a good thing that I make sure I do my research when buyingn legitimate olive oil, and that I don't eat canned pr prepackaged food, crackers, chocolate, pizza. The organic foos that I grow and,that I buy at the local farmers market here in Hawaii does me well, I guess. So, the hard fact is that I should spend money on mineral oil and then prepare my foos, cut my fruits with a knife coated with a laxative oil, when I already have pure olive oil at home? I'll take my facts over your emotions. No, buddy, you domt sound like an asshole, you sound like a fool, "lol"
