Many thanks so far guys. My list is shortening down, I am thinking along the lines of the:
Ontario RTAK II
Becker survival (BK9)
Ka-Bar Adventure Potbelly
An Leuku with a convex grind
FYGT XL Nessy with a convex grind?
Falkkniven A2 (even if it is at the top of the price scale for me, i think it is worth a look cause I like the F1)
or possibly the Hoodlum
but I have only seen the Buck stuff about it, does anyone out there use it if so what is it like. here in the UK I can not find a stockist so far so I may have to go to the source, but it looks a very interesting blade.
The Jungulas is a bit out of of my price scale to get it in the UK although it does look a good blade
Thank you for the info so far guys, and more input is greatly appreciated.
