Hi:
First post, but I couldn't find some of the info I'm looking for anywhere in a search. Specifically, I would like to know the width of the blades on these knives:
Becker Companion
Becker Combat Utility
Ranger RD-6/ESEE-6
I currently have a Kabar standard length knife with the serrated blade, but I really dislike the serrations, and I want to replace it. I have a Blackhawk that was made for the Kabar a few years ago, and I really like it - I'd prefer to keep using it. I wondered if any of these knives would still fit it, or if their blades are too wide (spine to edge), in case I decide on one of these, rather than simply getting a new Kabar with a plain edge.
As a second question, how do people feel about using one of the knives listed above for general camping, hunting, hiking utility stuff (and as a potential survival tool) as compared to a standard Kabar?
I've never been much of a knife guy, but I'm basically looking for something very durable, moderately heavy (I'm a smaller guy, so extra weight actually is helpful in transfer of kenetic energy), full tang, simple design, and less than $100.
