Get a British Army Mod 4.
Yep, figured I might as well get in on this, since my knife collection keeps a growin'.
Heading home for two weeks tomorrow. A trip or two to the shooting range is on the docket. Guess I'll have to get all my toys out and fondle them again for a while. Hope the wife doesn't get jealous watching me.
All my toys are named George.
I reckon the hunting dog is darned near ruined by now. Maybe I'll have to get me another one when I finally get home for good. At least he'll be good for breeding stock. He's been around all that estrogen while I've been gone, probably tenderfoot it out in the field if I was to work him. Probably whine getting into the water again too. If he's wearing a bow again when I get home, I am gonna put him out of his misery.

I dug up some links to prior testing I did with the Cold Steel SRK vs other blades and have pasted the links below. As noted in the test conclusions, I think the SRK is a good value and offers a lot of bang for the buck, assuming you buy a factory second on sale (~$35) from CS Special Projects catalog. For folks looking to buy a mid-size slicin' & dicin' cutter that won't break the bank, a factory second SRK on sale or the Becker Knife & Tool C/U-7 (BK-7) are my personal recommendations.

HTH, -- RokJok --
p.s. Myakka, what maker/model is the left-most knife in your picture? (the one left of the two Beck Tracker style blades) My eye wants to see it as a slight willow-leaf shaped blade moreso than a straight drop-point tip. I suspect it may be an optical illusion from the stripe lines in the fabric background.
Also, given how much the glare hides the gorgeousness of your Linger scandi-blades, I recommend the photo link in my sig for tips on how to prevent this.
