I believe the next one I go after will be a whittler or a small game skinner. I'm going to have to be picky on what I buy or this is going to get very expensive really fast!You are off to a great start!
I'd recommend the Arkansas Traveler and the Whittler for EDC. The Companion is a great knife too.
All of them carry really well, with nothing digging in or knocking around unexpectedly.
I'll be on the lookout for a whittler for sure. There is one available at A. G. Russell right now, but it comes with a left hand sheath and has a black micarta handle. I like black micarta, but would really like something a little less common.I second the Whittler, owned mine for a number of years and love it! Have a Modified Personal on order, can't wait

Ram's Horn and stainless pins.
Bead blasted Tero-Tuf with alloy pins.
Ancient Ivory with brass fixtures.
Bead blasted Micarta also w/alloy pins.
I really love this pattern, but be prepared to wait a while for something different from the standard model to come along though.
Nice collection!My Dozier collection

Seriously though, if you’re gonna get 4 or 5 factory knives, get a handmade at some point. Bob’s Loveless knives are sexy, here are mine. 2 Dropped Hunters in CPM154, one with green micarta and one with ironwood, then a Utility Hunter in 154CM and stag.
