Yes, sadly, I do. I could likely open my own cutlery shop. And, I have a guy that does custom sheaths for me too-which I will be doing, again, as soon as I get my knife.

I did check out some of the ones you mentioned-they look a little larger than I want. In my head, my "perfect" knife I can carry either horizontally or vertically, is small enough that I can wear it while kayaking, but big enough to be useful. I love my Mora, and my custom bush knife, but want something new...my USAF survival knife resides in my jeep, but I want something I can grab & go. I will check out that RC 4-I looked at the other ones, and they are too large for what I want. We will see-I am ordering a knife this week, and I need to make a decision by then.

Look at Bark River Knife & Tool at KnivesShipFree. The Gunny sounds like what you want.

Read up on the Bravo-1 also.

The seal pup elite is an improved version of the seal pup, and there's a review of the elite here. I suppose it competes with the LMF II (which I own but hardly ever use) as a general prupose/survival knife.
