Re: Hawke's Hellion Survivor 2020

I see about $25 in materials (at most) and about $100 worth of hype in that thing. Overpriced for something made from carbon steel. At that price I would expect a higher performance stainless blade steel.

I don't see anything particulary special about teh blade steel spec. Am I missing something?

Yeah, don't' like the shape at all. Lot of useless angles on the blade for a "bad-ass" look and little practical purpose. I'd take a mid-size Kukri and a Leatherman Wave over that one any day.
