I think that the FRN works well with these, don't you?

Cool!

I've been meaning to pick up the rescue variant, but haven't been able to find a source in the USA.

Thank you.

I enjoy the simple, functional autos that will "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'" (if you catch my meaning). It is knives such as this that you can take into the field and/or on the street into a "hard use" setting knowing that they'll "take care of the business at hand". ::tu:: 8)

Is this knife made in China ? Just asking out of interest. German laws are very lax. "Germany" on a knife does not mean it was made there, so it can take some sleuthing.

I believe these are made in Germany, using Swedish steel. If memory serves, these were designed for field use. The Chromium content of the steel prevents corrosion while providing a durable (serviceable) edge. This is what spurred my purchase. ::tu::

I have learned that these were made from Swedish Steel and assembled in Germany. The Swedish Steel takes a wicked edge!

I like it.

Correction: According to Bill deShivs, these were assembled in Italy. (By gum, II believe him)! ::mdm::

Does that change them in any way?

No, but this makes them a true "international" knife. (German/Swedish/Italian). I'd hate to attempt to buy it a satisfying meal. ::mdm::

I must admit this knive looks pretty good. How's the quality of it? Is the steel good enough? It's pretty hard to find something similar not on Ebay from what I can tell at the moment and I'd like to know if it's worth it :mrgreen:

Elizabeth58,

Again, Welcome. The blade is Swedish Stainless Steel and the handles are comprised of FIber Reinforced Nylon. Were I you, I would search for one of these and buy it because,

1. The FRN handles won't rot,
2. the Swedish Stainless Steel hods a decent edge while remaining corrosion-resistant and,
3. it is a light knife that handles easily and won't tire you while you use it.

This makes for a useful tool that is worth the "price of admission".
