Most of the knives I own are SwampRat and ScrapYard. I have been a fan for just over of year. If your looking for the best eventually the path will bring you to Bussekin knives. I have two ESEE knives that I like a lot but have just one flaw in my book (Note my book). The RC4 has allen heads holding the handles on and after field dressing a deer, I notice fat and other matter collects in these small holes and this bothers me. They both hold edges and ESEE knives get good scores on knife tests.com
