Been thinking of these three: SY Yardkeeper, SR Howling Rat and the BR Bravo-1. Love the sure grip on the two Bussekin resiprene handles, still undecided on the micarta/g-10 on the Bark River. The steel on the 3 seems anywhere from very good to just this side of awesome. How would you rate these and why.

Thanks, Mark

Those are three of the best. The RC-4 is nice, too. I like the Bravo-1 because the handle fits my big hand better. I have one in A2 and one in CPM 154. You can't go wrong with any of those. For SYKCO 4" blades, I like the SS4 and Bird Dog because the mudder handle fits me better. I also like the HRLM with its larger micarta handle and super good SR101 steel.

Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
