I'm stuck between the roadhouse the patriot and the zealot. Please if you don't mind tell me which one you would choose and why.
 
I'm a tanto fan so I would go with the Roadhouse. The ergos on it are really great and the blade shape is good for regular EDC type tasks. I have a Super Roadie myself and it gets a lot of use. Personally I'm not a fan of the choil on the Zealot and I can't speak for the Patriot as I've never owned one.
 
Zealot.

It's highly versatile. The choil gives it a lot more control and the sweep to the belly and Lum esque tanto works just like a drop point.

Having handled all of them, I'd go with the Zealot out of all 3 for my habits. However it depending on what your intend to use it for, all may fit the bill.
 
Edc in civilian clothing I have a cqc-8 and a horseman I carry at work. So I'm basically looking for an off duty knife. Thanks for the help guys!
 
Owned them all, sold the Patriot as I didn't like the grip. Love the Roadhouse, and the Zealot is one of my all time favorites. Roadie will be a lot easier to find, the Zealot was made in small numbers.
 
I've narrowed it down to the roadhouse and the zealot now thanks guys I will post pics when I decide and order. Side question is blade hq a good place to order from
 
BladeHQ is awesome! I've done a lot of business with them and I've never had an issue.

I would go Roadhouse, I'm not a fan of choils that take up a lot of blade space.

BladeHQ is great to deal with.
 
The Zealot is a limited offering only available direct from Emerson. And I can tell you my Roadhouse has gotten very little carry since my first Zealot arrived.

Funny that you would suggest either of these - I just picked up mine;
