Down Under Knives - Outback

The Outback™ features a forged, dual heat treated 440C stainless blade honed to a razor sharp edge. The back retains some spring to it while the edge has been made hard enough to withstand hundreds or thousands of cuts with no perceptible dulling. This is not a wall hanger - we set out to create the most devastatingly effective Bowie knife ever produced, and designed every detail like we mean it. Hack, slash, chop, cut, crush...

This is one blade that will never let you down. The handle is skillfully crafted out of genuine ebony, leather and brass with an ultra-strong tang that will not twist or break in heavy use.

The solid, bead blasted brass handguard and pommel complete the distinctive look. The Outback™ is truly both a great example of the knifemaker's art as well as the most rugged, dependable tool an outdoorsman could wish for.

Siri is another Apple game changer!

Some have said that the iPhone 4s in not a major upgrade over the iPhone 4. Some were expecting a form-factor change and maybe a larger screen. I say Apple did the right thing. They took an exceptional device and made it fantastic. The so-called under the hood improvements are substantial and the fact that the form factor didn't change is a bonus for those of us who are comfortable with the current design. The new iPhone 4s is really an all-new phone but with the added benefit of keeping a beloved figure.
