    I did cut up a cattle beast with one once so they do work, well until the springs broke.

    Hmm, never heard of that happening - and you had it happen twice!!

    I had a mercator knife very recently with the spring broken first time trip I used it. Perhaps a dud batch came into NZ.
    A mate sourced a bunch of them over the net. The second one I've used seems OK.

    As you can see I spent a bit of time painting it up and sharpening to razor before I used it.
    Fortunately I had a spare one I use for eating, with me.
