Hi Eastr. Like Sal says the temp will not break under normal knife use. I can agree with that. But i don't consider survival "normal knife use" I know that even a full tang blade can snap under the right circumstances. That's why i always have more than one knife with me. What i'm trying t...

Hi Eastr. Nice pictures. But you've shown me why the temp wil never be amongst my hiking gear. It's not full tang . Try making a new handle and the blade isn't full tang, you're in for a hard time (if you're in the outdoors). I just discovered in the 2007 catalog the FB19 dayhiker and FB18 Woodlande...

Hi Eastr. I'm not looking for cheap blades. I buy blades which have proven their usefullnes in the field. My Endura and Fallkniven F1 have done just that. Although the F1 is a cheap blade it's made of VG 10 steel and is though enough to carry my weight if i put it in a horizontal crevice. By the way...
