I'm beginning to wonder about The Elf, I thought he lived up north but with the stuff he's coming up with he must live below the M-D line.

That's what the safety pin is for.
The Schrade was chosen because it doesn't have a point. One of the functions I need is to be able to deploy the knife in a hypothermia event to cut a pack off or cut into a pack. I don't need to be stabbing myself or anyone else. It's also a good river knife. You don't want pointy things on things that rely upon air pressure to stay afloat...just sayin...
For under $20, it's a steal....

Having a folder completely defeats the stated purpose for my trail knife and is redundant to my multi-tool Gerber.
The steel on the Schrade is 58-60 on the hardness scale, which is the same as most Benchmade and Gerber, which use AUS-6A, so I really don't understand the stronger steel/holding edge argument?
Look, if I needed a knife that I would use in situations other than an emergency(like if I had to cut things every day) I would go with a far higher quality knife blade. Hell, I've got an original Cold Steel TrailMaster that will go through a freaking car door, but other than chopping wood or gutting a bear, it has no useful purpose for me on any trail. Except maybe the Amazon Trail...
Of course, YMMV. I just couldn't see paying 3 times the price for the NRS Pilot. -

If I was a kid I would be pissed. I might even go all postal and get all surgeon general about it and break out a butter knife -
