The green was $120 and the orange $150, totally with it in my opinion!

well....i think the handel in a little large for the knife it self. the blade is MAJOR serrated and sharpe as hell. the tank wrench was a little tight so i did some file work so it would go on easyier. over all i'm happy.

I think you can still get the regular issue ones in 1095 blade steel cheaper...If you can find them in stock.

I have one of the first ones made (I guess you could call it a prototype) in the orange. I also bought one in black several years ago. They were OK, but nothing special.

They have since manufactured newer styles with much higher price tag.

The couple I've handled were pretty flimsy and I wouldn't have paid $50 for one but that's been a loooong time ago.
