I have the Fusilier, it's a great knife. I hope... I've never had to use it.
One thing to consider though, the steel part of the knife consists of the blade and the handle, in one piece. The steel handle has a protective cover on it, as can be seen in the photos in the review. The protective cover on the Fusilier can be removed to clean the inside of the handle. Unlike the blade part of the knife, the upper portion of the steel handle is not treated, so it can rust. It should be coated with something like silicon grease to help protect it. Just in case not everyone was aware of this.
Cheers,
Bill
