Mostly use a swiss army nowadays, very sharp too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The best I can think of is one of these; http://www.heinnie.com/iogkow412922/Knives...1-642-643-1822/ There are lots of illegals to choose from. I've just bought the non folding one of these; http://www.heinnie.com/iogkow412922/Knives.../p-92-589-4040/ 440A stainless with a good well balanced thick blade. This is another good value well known knife http://www.heinnie.com/iogkow412922/Knives.../p-92-144-3641/ this has better steel called 154cm for the blade and will hold a better edge than 440a/c and matches ATS-34 blades. On the www.heinnie.com website you can compare 4 knives on the same screen. Set a budget first and line em up. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
