Hi guys,

I've been lurking these boards for a while. And I love the atmospere of this forum.
The problem now is that I really have difficulties with choosing my next knife.
I've dedided I would go for a fixed blade (my first, if you don't count machetes) and that if i would go fixed i'd better go for something heavy duty survival.

After searching for a while there remain 3 possible knives:
The Bark River, Bravo 1.
The Fallkniven, F1(3g).
Or ESEE's model nr 5.

The Bravo 1 speaks to me because of the classic look and the jimping on the blade.
The F1 mostly because of the good things i heard from others, and the 3g steel.
And then you have the ESEE 5. The sheer image of power and durability it portrays does something to me :p But also the sheath with the locking system i like alot.

Now is there someone that has used them (or a couple of them) and has maybe negative experiences with one(or more) of them? Or just any other advise to me?

I'd appreciate some honest feedback alot! ^^

ps: plz forgive me for some awkward-or just plain wrong- expressions i sometimes may use use, i'm from belgium ;)
 
I would skip the Bravo-1 for a primary survival knife. The edge is just too fine and not strong enough. Esee-5 IMHO is the best choice. Built like a tank and has an excellent sheath with many accessories. Also look at a Kabar Becker BK-2.

Ok, thank you for those pointers. I will checkout the BK-2 immediately!
