Seriously though...

"a slight bit more utility" you say?

Call me 'boring' and 'old fashioned'.

Here's my modern nerdboy take on that old fashioned. US Space Force, I couldn't resist.

For price, warranty and some aftermarket scales and sheaths Esee is hard to beat the Esee 3-4 are great, Esee 5 is for all purposes indestructible, I mean if you break this knife you should've had a 36 inch long prybar.

If you want a larger fightin knife, the CKRT is about as good as it gets, though discontinued and rare as hens teeth!


And don't forget, the classic of classics, the Gerber MK-1 and MK-II series!
I was gifted a MK-II by my Grand Father after I had completed my AIT school, still have it!
One of the best combat knife designs ever made!



Also Rare and Spendy, They pop up on E-bay some times, plan accordingly!

FWIW Schrade has a clone of the MK II. They call it a boot knife but its over a foot long

I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I'd love to take a course from him.

Thanks for the heads up. That should give me some time to block off the schedule.

Here's my brother Christmas present this year. Buck and a quarter including Laser engraving his name and date to my door and they had it to me two days later.
