The next big knife- Ontario RTAK II vs. ESEE Junglas vs. TOPS Armageddon

I am looking for comparative thoughts of the forum with experience(s) with these knives. I will first pee in the pans of the Beckerheads, (whom, I one day hope to join,) musket locks. By saying I proudly own BK&T, Camillus and Ka-Bar Beckers. Brute (X2), BK2, BK7, BK9 (X2) & BK10, and I seek others I would buy as $$ allow.
Of the knives listed for comparison, the list is not closed. And I am aware of the cost of each.
What does anyone think?

Bah - can't choose Becker. If I can't say "BK-9", then the Junglas is pretty sweet stuff. My son has one and that frigger (the knife, not the kid - well, the kid too) wants to chop. Can't go wrong with that one.

i say the junglas is basically an improved rtak ll ( much better handle imo). the tops looks a little to weird for my tastes, but you may be a little more accepting than me. as for bussekin, they are amazing, my only worry would be the price and availability. so for that reason i go with the esee( plus esee has the amazing warranty)

Can't really get a vote on that poll in good conscience, for a big knife I LOVE the Busse B11, Dog Father and TOPS Armageddon, have or had them all and kept only the B11 so far.

I would put the Munk Chunk from HI in there and the Gurkha Kukri from Cold Steel in there too neither gets enough big knife love on this forum.

Everybody needs an RTAKII

I voted ESEE, but would go with a Fehrman Final Judgement first. I didn't pick "other" though because it is 450 out of the price of the others.

I forgot to say what my other is, Ontario Ranger Bush Series with the 9" blade and black micarta handles for $61. Pretty much take an inch off the RTAK II and save $35

I have a RTAKii on the way in the mail, i really want the Junglas but dont have the cash now and got a good deal on the RTAK, so it will do for now.

I already have a great, "big knife" in my CS Trailmaster. However, if i ever buy another big un, i'll be calling Paul Moore and working something up from his "G-Zilla" - what a knife!!!

I absolutely love my Busse BWM but would gladly settle for a Junglas if I couldn't find a BWM to buy.

Sold my dull Bushwacker for the razor sharp Junglas with awesome, adjustable kydex sheath included $150!

Cleared tons of small saplings - got her dirty and gundgy - Before!

After! - Washed with a sprinkle of Comet and lightly brushed with plastic pristles and is back to "as new" condition. Has never required more than a stropping and is still scary sharp! :thumbup:
