Yeah, I got burned on the Bayley, but at least I didn't order the new Rambo knife! The Bayley is a fine hand made knife. It cuts as well as any here. As expensive as it was, think what it would cost now with the dollar losing value. I just prefer my howlers, mutts, and SS4. The Bark River is a fine knife, too, but a bit more costly than a scrapper. They are coming out with a 3/16" thick version of the Bravo-1 in 12C27 this year. The Barkies are very good knives. I haven't used the Fosters that much, but it cuts well and good old 440C is fine with me. There are no losers in this bunch, but I have my favorites, and they just happen to be the scrappers. I actually prefer my SS4 as a user to my Meaner Street, another fine little knife.
