Okay, over the past week or so I've been going through a bunch of knives that I've wanted to get (as you can likely tell from all my threads =P) and am getting close to the point of pulling the trigger on the order/s. But, It's kind of a good bit of money :\
BM 940 PE - $122
My only folders of mention are a Griptilian and a Tenacious. This is a higher quality, 'finer' folder. I want something on the nicer side to add to my fledgling collection.
Case Med Stockman, Amber Bone, CV (Engraved) - $47
I want to get a decent pocket knife to see if I enjoy this type of knife. Also, provides a smaller knife that can be used when pulling out a locking folder isn't the best of ideas. (Anyone know approx. how thick these are?)
Ontario RAT Folder - $30
Since I started to get into knives late last year, I have for some reason desperately wanted this knife... Saw some videos on Youtube and was intrigued by it. Seems like a sturdy little folder that could be used in the outdoors... Now thinking about it, this will likely be cut.
KaBar USMC Fighter/Utility (Short / Full, upgrade leather sheath to Kydex +$8) $42 / $52
I have only folders at this point, and I kind of want to get an affordable all around fixed blade that can serve as a survival blade (batoning wood, camp tasks, etc.). I don't camp or go hiking really, but am entertaining the idea of doing so in the future and would like to have the knife ready to go if I do decide to. Is this a good choice? Or would it just make a lot more sense to go up and get one of the larger RAT offerings or another fixed blade(would eliminate a fixed blade from this purchase)? If I do go with this, what combination should I go for as far as size / sheath?
I kind of also want to get an Victorinox Alox model, but not sure which one; so why toss money at one if I'm not sure which one to get =P
As always, I greatly appreciate any input you all may have. Have certainly helped me out a great deal since I've wandered over here.
