Just my 2 bits worth on the "Malin M-15" debate.

1 bit: Harbor Freight Salvage who, I have had pleasant
experiences with in the past is selling a knife that
looks exactly like the one in the Malin ads, for $3.95.
HFS is a good company and generally gives you things at 
half what they're worth, but I wouldn't want a knife that
was worth $7.90 even for only $3.95. It just has to be
a piece of shit.

2 bit: They were selling the same knife on telephone action
( the one thing that makes me most embarrased to say I'm from
San Jose ) I like to watch it because the announcer is such
a critter. Anyway, i've always wondered hoe their prices
compare. Everything they sell is off-brand so can't be
compared, so you say, how much the Malin knife?

"Every hand that goes up, every call that comes in, just
$9.95"

And they didn't bother to bid it up to $30 before doing the
world this big favor.
