I've been going through the rotation the last week or two.
Today it's this guy, ~2.7" blade:

I'm carrying several knives right now just in case of zombies. Izula, blur, 0350ts, cs recon 1, Spyderco gb, bm 530, bm 162
 
I'm carrying the fabulously useful Bucklite 424 back lock with drop point blade in the bottom of the RF pocket and long-awaited new, just converted clip to tip-up deep carry, Kershaw 3880 Thermite frame lock with Spanto blade clipped into my RF pocket.

that bucklite 424 looks pretty good, almost like buck's version of a sodbuster.
 
It has the drop point blade like the sodbuster. Notice that the ones pictured here do not have a nail nick, which I like, and not only don't I miss it I prefer the plain blade in order to minimize rust potential. At 1.27 ounces there is no reason not to have one in your pocket. Buck let this model drift for 10 years then recently brought it back to life via exclusive production for our friends to the North Canadian Tire Stores. The orange ones I ordered from the Buck Factory Store over the phone. I visited Post Falls Idaho for the big Buck Collector Club bash and shopped the factory store in person finding only one blem. 424 with dark resin scales and I snapped that up cheap (grind was a tiny bit uneven). I've used this model to cut open a medium-sized watermelon and it performed without issue. Buck's idea with the Bucklite series of knives was to make a light weight version of their regular line. The regular line knife version of the 424 is the 501.

Outboard orange 424s purchased from the Buck Factory Store over the phone (box label is for the orange knives) and center clam pack 424 from Canadian Tire (kind of like a Sears of the great white North):

Just got a TR3 recently and I love it. I'm absolutely stunned that they sell those under $200, the quality is outstanding.

Agreed! This one is perfect except the partial serrated blade, I really wanted a plain edge Swat version with green or black scales.
 
In addition to my swisschamp which never leaves my belt, I just started carrying this little guy. I cleaned it up, sharpened it, tightened the screws and it seems like a decent beater. Barracuda Tactical from some research I've done
