Wow where to start......RAT5 is good, Rat 3 might be a bit small, SRKW M6 is good, Ranger 6, Scrapyard 6, Dozier KS-7 is a good one. Do you have any price limits? The warranty on the scrapyard and SRKW M6 are out of this world, but they dont have natural handle materials. Do you want a convex or flat ground blade? Gaurd or no Gaurd? Leather or Kydex, Any particular settl you like? When you answer those questions to what you want you'll have narrowed your list but dont restrict yourself to it. I love my Swamprats and my Scrapyard but they are not always the best slicers, My Dozier KS-7 is a fantastic slicer but doesnt have the heft of the before mentioned. I like the RAT-5 in D2. Swing by the makers area, guys over there are always puttin out stuff that fits what you are asking for and usually for reasonable prices. Cold Steel is pretty good stuff I am just not a big fan of the handles.
