I am certainly glad you mentioned that. I did a lot of looking into knives and really fell onto the Seal Pup. It size, durability, color, off the top of my head are things I looked at. I also have an Air Force Pilot's knife...you know the old school one. It works great for camping and such and I have a great edge on it. It is a cheap way to go if you are on a really tight budget but my thought it is is that it wont last more than one serious survival excursion, hence my carrying of the Pup. I certainly would like to hear more stories about its uses if you have them. I am an army guy so you will have to fill me in on what a VBSS is?
