You are enthusiastic like a silly dog on this deal, wassup with that?

On a different note, these knives are not all that great. Any decent knife at anywhere near a reasonable price, has hardened high-carbon blades. The blades on these things won't hold an edge or resist deformation under any fair amount of stress. It's true that a high-carbon blade will rust, but a viable tool that rusts is better than one that fails while using it. A tool like this could last a lifetime... why spend a lifetime with an inferior tool? I'm speaking as someone who has a dresser drawer full of cheap knifes accumulated over the years... one GOOD knife is all you really want in your pocket for a lifetime, not a mediocre one.

I'm actually in the market for a new swiss-army knife... can you make some suggestions?

My Swiss Champ has held up fine for about 8 years now, at least half of which it saw some decent use during scouts. However, I do agree that if you simply need a single blade you can do better. I have a Kershaw Chive that is a smooth knife, along with a Gerber Gator and a Schrade Uncle Henry. The Kershaw is my knife of choice ATM for basic tasks.
