LOL, you won't be dissappointed by them bagwan, yes they are pricey, but you never have to pay for another knife, as long as you have it. Their warrenty is second to none. My wife just completed training for a Cutco sales rep this weekend, so I know some of the behind the scenes stuff now, and they are in fact tough to beat. I will prolly never have a different knife in my hands again, hunting or in the kitchen.
