Well, the Greco companion came in today. I think this thing is bombproof. It's by far the largest knife I have with a six inch blade and a quarter inch thick spine. I'm so used to light folders that this knife feels really HEAVY. I like the design and it is pretty well made with some minor unevenness in the grind. Nice heavy leather sheath too. The price of $84 makes it a very good buy. It'll get used for heavy utility when I get up to the camp in the Maine woods.
He does offer more "tactical" models with 4" blades, deep finger index on the handle but still a 1/4" thick spine. For '99, his catalog mentions 3/16 stock for newer designs.
