The one for which I always reach is the S30V Rod Garcia Skookum Bush Tool. Of the three, I find it the most useful and serviceable of the lot - a great steel and a great grind. I know that some folk have rolled the edge of a Skookum but, in over ten years of pretty continual use, I've never experienced that; but then again, I tend to look after it!
The grinds appear to be the same but it is the blade shape that is subtly different. Don't get me wrong: I really enjoy using both of them; it's just when I have to choose one, it's usually the S30V one. Maybe it does hold its edge for a wee bit longer - I don't know. What I do realise is that I'm lucky to have them both.
You can have a look at the pokluda website:

There are some really nice knives on that site. The Lesák and School are lovely, with some excellent steels being used.You can have a look at the pokluda website:

I daren‘t start looking at prices.
I'm afraid I don't know that. I'm sorry to say that my interest lies in whether the knife does its job well, rather than the numbers and stats that makes it work!
Some loively looking stuff there with enough choices to satisfy the picky. I couldn't see prices anywhere.There are some really nice knives on that site. The Lesák and School are lovely, with some excellent steels being used.

I bought a custom Mountaineer a couple or so years back. By the time I had paid postage and packing from the U.S., customs duties and Uk import duties adding well over £100 to the price there wasn't a lot of difference between the A.S. and an Emberleaf R.M.I was trying to remember the name of this company.

Look at "Pokluda knives". He is doing Woodlore-like and Skookum-like knives. In different steels, different handles, different lengths...
I recently wrote to Benchmade, they do not take any advice for fear of litigation. I think Cold Steel could make one in 3V with the standard Plastic handles they have and a securex sheath for around $30 dollars perhaps slightly less and it would be the hottest thing that would defeat mora IMO
I received some weeks ago a Woodlore-like from Pokluda. Steel is Vanadis 4 extra. Handle is in stabilized Walnut. The blade is 10.5 cm with a 12° dps true scandi grind. Sheath is made of thick leater. The knife is nice and a real joy to use.
Price is a little higher than 200 euros, VAT and postage included.

plus for the lo cost of a Mora you get a lifetime warrantyIf you pay attention you will find that everybody said, that the classical woodhandle Mora knives weren't far away from being the optimal survival knives if they would have a thicker blade and full tang construction. You actually find videos where you see Mors Kochanski using them.
You can find at YouTube videos where Paul Kirtley and Dave Canterbury recommend the Morakniv Garberg.
It's cheap and fulfills the specifications that peple were asking for.
Although it's a hidden tang it's also a full tang.
The Nylon handle is unbreakable.
It nearly fits the specifications the Swedish air force did ask for when they ordered the Fällkniven F1. The blade is just a bit thinner but made of a very good steel.
That's in my opinion exactly the knife all experts were asking for over decades.
Morakniv Garberg with Leather Sheath (S) - Black | Morakniv
This is a powerful outdoor full tang knife for challenging situations. The ergonomic barrel-shaped polymer handle features a friction grip, a finger guard, and a 3.2 mm thick blade made of recycled Swedish stainless steel.morakniv.se
And what Brisa and Caström mainly offer fulfills these specifications as well.
thereby no need to pay more than the actual need elsewhere a the Mora is a good all rounder within its physical size, with many a youtube video showing it many uses
No idea if it’s of interest but White River have just released a beautiful little knife which is a nice twist on a Skookum/Pukko.
