Hey Perksy,

The four knives are the Swamp Rat Howling Rat LM, Bark River Bravo1, Bark River Fox River and the Fallkniven F1. You ask a tricky question as I use them in different ways and they are all very good knives.

The Howling Rat is a very stought compact knife and would make a good small survival knife if that is all you are carrying. As I hardly ever have only one knife on me I don't use it that often.

The Bravo 1 is an exelent design and very goo knife. It is light, but strong and will out perform many bigger knives. This is the knife I carry on my webbing/ Load bearing vest, when on duty with the Army Reserve. Keeping my load light is important, due to all the other stuff we carry like ammo, comms, water, NFE, weapons etc and teh Bravo 1 works very well, just as it was designed to do.

The Fox River would see the most use out of all these knives as it is a great cutter and works very well as part of a combo with a larger knife or axe. As I useually carry some sort of combo, the Fox River is often carried and used. A great utility knife.

The Fallkniven is also a very good knife, but the only times I tend to use this knife these days, is salt water fishing. It is a great knife for this purpose due to its stainless blade. As everyone knows it is still a top notch bushcraft/survival knife, but I don't like its asthetics as much as the other knives, so this is the main reson I don't use it as much.

Thanks, Nick.

Thanks for the reply, Nick. I have been sort of longingly looking at the Bravo 1.

Mate. The Bravo 1 is a bloody good knife, I would highly recomend picking one up if you get a chance.

There's a few of them. Mostly pocketknives, as I don't have reason to sling around a sheath knife most of the time anymore.

Done, this morning. Thanks for the input.

You will love it. What handle did you get?

After considering input from some forum members, I went with Black canvas. The price is better and I kind of like the looks of it. I also thought it would be a better choice if it's going to take a beating, and that may be the case.
