Greetings all,
Just thought I'd throw a few pics up. Less a few duplicates and some not so important inclusions, here are my current blades.

Sweet collection so far, man!

Thanks! Actually soon (around christmas) I will probably have some El Salvador made additions along the lines of a Condor 18" Parang and Bushlore, and maybe a Jungle Bowie ii. Now that I've developed a taste for high carbon steel I think I'm pretty well over stainless except for folders.

How do you like the ESEE 3? Nice bunch of knives. How do the buck skinners do for you?

I love the esee 3. The bucks I've hardly used. When our canadian tire box store was clearing out their knives in the display case (missing sheaths) I picked them up for less than half off. But the esee is my primary knife and I like that it's thin enough to do what the skinners were designed to do so it's my go to. Wanted a 4 but ordered the buck compadre to save money, but decided the next day to hell with it and got an esee anyways and figured on the 3 so i didn't have 2 new knives the same size coming. In any case really glad I bought it. Easy to sharpen and handle size suits the knife so i have no problem and I've got big hands.

Thanks for the feedback, I have a esee4 i like but the handle felt a little awkward with the slightly larger blade than the three (I handled a 3 at a gun show and remember how it felt at the time and thought the bigger blade would be up to my liking.) I think the 3 and 4 have the same size handle. So now I have a rat 3 by Ontario I am going to use as an overall knife.

Ya I think esee 3 or rat 3, definately can't go wrong!
