You can't go wrong with any of the CRK fixed blades.

I have a few of the 4" ones and I think they are great. Wish I had the larger one.

I have and have had several of the Reeve one-piece fixed blade/hollow handle knives. Check them all out before you decide on one. They all have different characteristics. Some are thicker than others. (The Sables are pretty beefy) Some have stronger points (The Shadows stay pretty thick all the way up close to the point.)

The Aviator is, in fact, the most delicate of them and, therefore, has the best cutting performance.

I actually recommend the Sable shape. It LOOKS like it has a flat spine, but actually has a graceful slightly backward curve. Beautiful and functional all at once, IMHO. :thumbup:

I've got one had it about 2yrs now. Its done me well during deer season and friends wanted to try it out also on the game in all 4 deer dressed, including splitting the pelvis bone, been on a couple light camping trips and around the field, still have yet to sharpen it. The saw on back is multi purpose so it does so so on things. It fit in my hand better then the 4inch did. CRK made them for a dealer can't think of who it was but you can email CRK. As with most CRK you can't go wrong. Its my favorite one piece.

I wish they had made it in that camo finish. or did they?

I have one of the 5" Aviators and consider myself lucky to have found one. (Have #4 of 50) Had to get it because I'm a pilot. That said, I can never bring myself to actually use it due to the limited edition nature.
IMHO, the 5" blade is the perfect size for an all-around knife and you really can't go wrong with any of the CRK 1-Piece series.

My personal favorites besides the 5" Aviator is the Mark VI and the Mountaineer II, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

And, I do believe there were a few camo models made, but I'm not certain how many and what camo colors...
