General purpose I suppose but want something I can pull without unfolding; some game skinning for sure. I don't need a 'combat' knife as I am a chairborne ranger. Am I being too general and need to perhaps do some more reading?

Would an Esse 3 Rowen slightly used for $75 with kydex sheath fit the bill? I haven't had it in my hand yet but the size/shape appeal to me.

Thanks. Actually, I'm meeting a guy to get a Esee 3 this afternoon. In my searching, I did see some others I like so while I hate to admit it, I think I've gotten the knife bug. I do need a couple for different uses and places.

150 or less....
Sykco 511 Esee4 Esee6 Ratmandu from swamprat, but you will be a little over your budget, won't come with sheath ($50ish to have one made), and you will have to wait. The esee3 would make a good Skinner with its thinner blade stock than the 4, and shorter blade than the 6. The 6 is a better woods knife, and the 4 is a better all around knife. Sykco or swamprat steel will blow town 1095 out of the water in every way besides price and having to get sheaths |

I would like to recommend that you get a "dangler" sheath. I thought they were a gimmick/fad til I tried one myself. Easier to sheath the knife and gives the knife some flexibility to move around when you get in or out of a vehicle or chair. As far as the knife goes I'm a big fan of the TOPS BOB. Not a big burly knife but well thought out and tough.

Thanks y'all. I decided to bust the budget a bit and got the Esee 3, Fallkniven A1 and F1. I know I'm way off of my initial plan but they look like they will be suitable for different places/applications. I will look at the others you've recommended and consider them; might buy another next month.
Never heard of a 'dangler' but will check it out. thanks again |

You might contact Blade Tech. They make kydex knife sheaths. You will probably have to send your knife to them to fit it. I had one of the first new S&W model 386 PD scandium/titanium pistols (years ago) and I contacted Blade Tech to ask if they made holsters for it. They had me send it to them and they made a holster for it. I would imagine that their price would be well within your limit. They make quality kydex holsters. Check 'em out.
