The bravo-1 is a good choice. Also look at RAT cutlery, good price and tough. I have an rc-4 and love it.

+1 on the Bark River Bravo 1. I bought one about a year ago and now Bark River is about the only knife company I will buy from. They are sharper and hold edges longer than anything I've ever seen. I used my Bravo 1 to clean and butcher an entire deer and I didn't have to sharpen it once, and I didn't even sharpen it before I used it for that. The Bravo 1 is a great knife but you should look at their other knives too because the Bravo 1 is pretty heavy and might be a bit too heavy for some purposes. The Montana Guide and Fox River are the other two that I would consider the most.

What about this one?
Maybe it's just me but there's something about a lime green sheath that well,...let's just say, I'm more of a traditionalist. |

That's why I posted the link, there are lots of really fancy grips if that's what your looking for. Hell, I'm considering this one.

You can always find a few Busses or Swamprats on Ebay as well. Truly top-notch quality. I highly recommend.
Here is my most recent, a Badger Attack Tactical (BATAC):  Also, see this thread, in case you're interested in the new Swamprat: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=4&t=270135 |

I just ordered the Bastogne Walnut version of the Bravo-1 just this afternoon.
I got an email from Mary at DLT Trading saying they were just planning a 10% off sale and she went ahead and applied the discount to my order and they shipped it out today. I got a great knife at a great price. If it looks as nice as the picture and is functionally as good as you say, I know I'll be happy when it arrives. Now, for my next purchase, I think I want...

I've bought several knives from DLT, including one that I was gonna give my brother-in-law for Xmas about 4 years ago. When the knife showed up it wasn't what I really wanted (Sometimes hard to tell from a picture) and they were very nice about taking it back and putting the money towards something nicer, a Bark River Gameskeeper (Which was later tested by FR and with changes became the Bravo-1) That was my first Bark River experience, the knife I got my brother-in-law. I've bought several more since then, and now that I know about this sale I think I'm gonna get another. |

I really like my Gerber LMF ASEK. Very sturdy knife and the price is right at under $70

I recieved the knife today. It is a beaut! I have big hands and the grip is plenty long enough even for me.
It came with a heavy leather sheath that is much nicer than I thought it would be (honestly, I wasn't even sure it would come with one). All around - good deal! Thanks to Bark River and thanks to DLT Trading for the nice product and speedy, courteous service. |

And now you get to learn the virtues of the convex grind.
