If you like the sort of symmetrical dropped point on the Elk Hunter, I might mention that for an extra ~$20 or so, Dozier will modify his knives in minor ways for you... in this case, for me personally, I don't like the little "upper guard" on the Elk Hunter knives, but saw posted a while back where one of the forumites had Bob do a dropped point on the Professional Guides knife, so the tip and hollow grind looked like the Elk Hunter but was Pro Guide size/handle/length otherwise. Extra $20 or thereabouts, 2-4 months, and voila.
Similarly, I'm sure he'd just grind off that top "guard" on an Elk Hunter so you could have that size and handle.
Food for thought.
