If you want a robust handle that pilots the blade extremely well for caping and skinning, you might want to go with the Basic #3, due to the size and purchase afforded by the handle...if you want an everyday carry knife which is easily accessible, maneuverable, and tougher than nails, go with the Mean Street.
I will have Mean Streets in stock in a few days if you are interested.
