Personally I have dumped most of my knives in favor of Scott's blades. I love my PSK (jr) and I have been using it as my utility blade for about a year now. I just added a PSK sr to my kit, which fits between the psk and my RD9. I like the simple design of his blades, and how easy it is to keep sharp. And without a doubt, they are the toughest blades I have ever owned. I am looking forward to when I can get Kephart, I'm on the waiting list.
I do understand what you mean about the look/design, but I have found that in use, they knives have won me over, so much so I prefer my PSK sr to my RAT RC-4 or TAK-1. The Tusker is a beautiful blade you should seriously consider, a friend I went up to CA to train with had a huge Tusker, and a smaller version, both are simply beautiful.
Anyways, I don't mean to sound like a Gossman ad, I've just owned a huge number of knives and feel that dollar for dollars his blades are a great value, and a mistake to pass up.
Cheers!
