BTW: wasn't trying to slam the Montecs...I love the solid design. I'd probably have them on the top of my list (well, maybe 2nd after the Flames) if it wasn't for the sharpness issue. Facts are facts...hemorraghing is caused from massive discharge of blood from blood vessels. The more that can be cut, and cut cleanly, the more blood loss. Clean cuts bleed rapidly...jagged, punched cuts clot quickly.
