Really, a BG Owners Club... Or is this another one of the threads we're supposed to ignore???
People who are affected by branding (positively and negatively) often can't see the true pros and cons of certain products
^^ This. The Strata is such an underrated tool around here, which is something I've said a million times. But NOOOO, you folks won't listen, will you.
I do not own any BG tools, but own a lot of Gerbers. I have yet to find one I do not like! This may be a wee bit off topic, but since this thread seems to be going nowhere fast , I have a question! Does anybody know the type of knife Bear Grylls actually uses on his show? I doubt if he uses a cheap knife like the ones he endorses. I do not mean that as an insult to Gerber, but I would spend a bit more than 50 to 60 dollars if I was going to get a knife that I would depend my life on!
Why somewhere else?As for the Strata...I am no snob. However, I do not like the Strata because I found you can absentmindedly cause yourself some pain because of the design of this tool in regards to the scissors. I know because it almost happened to me.If you like it by all means...however, I find its design lacking in that one spot.
Isn't it? I feel the designers should have at least placed something in the frame to prevent this. At least to protect folks like me.
