P.s. I got my hinderer for 68.00, small price to save your life huh?

The stupid thing sits on my desk and sometimes when I run out of utensils, I end up using the hunting knife to cut my food. Ah the laziness. I bet 90 percent of the people with these type of knives never ever use them for any of the purposes that they were intended for. Oxygen tank wrench?!? What I need to know is, "does it have a bottle opener" ;-) Amit I have a similar hunting knife that I got from a friend on my birthday.
