Recommended Posts

purchased as an impulse buy.. I wanted a super heavy duty knife that would stand up to prying chopping etc... this thing is insanely solid... it feels like a heavy duty meat clever.. pictures to come..

I agree, this knife is advertised to break open doors... nuff said, lol.

what happens if all 6 of your cheap blades break trying to pry something open. I find the cheap blades are good for typical use, do you need a 100 dollar knife to cut twine? no. Do you need a 100 dollar knife to pry open a door, probably. Will you ever have to pry open a door? maybe..

It's just a matter of finding the right tool for the job. Are you going to use a knife to open a can when you have a can opener? I use a 10 dollar box cutter to open boxes, not my 5" fixed blade, although i could use it if i wanted.

The more purposes a knife has the better it is in my book.

 

Whats the point in buying something you know will break? and probably when you most need it.

You can also buy 4 Hi-point pistols for the price of a Glock, doesn't mean it's worth it. I would rather have 1 knife that is dependable, than 7 that I can't trust to cut through my steak and potato's.

 

your criticism would be spot on if it weren;t for the fact the damn thing is like a cockroach and out-survives a lot of other knives. It gets 4.5 gifanims form knifetests.com

The becker bk9, the closest thing to the TAC tool, gets two.

 

The guy is highly abusive to the knives.

he gives it two stars.. but I watched segments of the video where he was cutting through some huge paver or something.. not sure how exactly he decides the rating.. but good enough for anything I will likely ever need it for... also I am pretty sure the tack tool is thicker than the one you mention.. I am not even sure I would consider it a traditional knife.. it was more a utility tool that I thought was reliable.. so in the bag that goes in the trunk it went.. will I ever USE it.. probably.. will I ever NEED it.. probably not..
