Video reviews are always great, but holy crap that guy drags things out worse than a drunken cheerleader.

That is a COOL looking knife.

I'll ask the question an earlier poster asked ... what's the intended use for this knife, aside from prying up large boulders? :)

Also on the site I didn't see any tech specs, like what the blade material is for example?

so what's the little threaded rod for?

the rod is for extra strenght and to lock the blade.
so you have a kind of folder fixed blade.

the knife was designed for the Italien target aqusition teams (kind of long range forward air/fire controlers)
