I got three of the 333 boxes and noticed a SOG Trident and Blur in the knife case. Thought about the Blur again since I've had that one and liked it. They had the Tiger stripped one for $60. The Trident was $50.

How much was the 22 ammo?

<$12/333 round box before tax.

While checking on several of these knives on the web last night, I noticed that Walmart carries several of the SOG knives. I already knew the had the Blur because that's where I bought mine from. On my way in to work this morning I needed a couple of things and had the urge to check for ammo while there.

There were about 12 boxes of 333 rnd Winchester .22LR, 10 boxes of WWB 9mm, .40, and .45 and several boxes of American Eagle 90 rnd 5.56. I got three of the 333 boxes and noticed a SOG Trident and Blur in the knife case. Thought about the Blur again since I've had that one and liked it. They had the Tiger stripped one for $60. The Trident was $50. The Trident is lighter, had the slightly higher ride placement of the belt clip, and has the cutter thing when the knife is closed. There blade can also be locked when closed, but I'm not sure how useful that will be yet.

Anyway, I went ahead and bought the Trident and carried it around in my slacks pocket all day. Because I was in slacks I did not use the belt clip and just had it all the way down in the pocket. Due to it's lighter weight, it was very comfortable like this. I could not carry the Blur around like this because of it being heavier and flopping around too much when walking.

Another knife I looked at and am interested in is the Cold Steel Recon 1 with a tanto blade either plain or half serrated. Nice looking knife! I didn't see that at Walmart, but rather while looking around the web last night.

I've looked at most of the knives recommended in this thread. Knowing that the Blur has a relatively thin tip makes me a little relieved since I had it for 3-4 years and only paid about $50 for it. That's why I was asking about others like the SOG knives. I thought I would consider something a bit tougher. The NRA has a nice looking deal on three of the SOG Trident knives for $90 a piece.

I didn't think much about it at the time. It went nearly all the way through an approximately 10" trunk and it knocked the bark off the other side. I could see the bullet and figured I'd just dig a tiny bit and pry it out. It did come out pretty easy. I just didn't notice the tip until a few days ago.

The tip of my Blur broke off. I think I know when it happened, but am not sure. It might have been a few weeks ago, while visiting my parents, and I was digging a couple slugs out of some tree trunks I was using for a backstop. So, I'm looking for a new EDC knife.

About all these $100+ knives, have any of you broken the tip off of one of them before? How about one of those SOG knives, like the Trident or something? Is there any kind of warranty or anything that they would replace it if the tip breaks off?
