ESEE will probably be the first next knife I get. not sure if I want the 4 or 5. I have a 3" custom buffalo skinner so that side is covered.

I do like the Gerber LMF ii. It is AFAIK ( & probably short one or two) the only knife Gerber makes that is 100% made in the USA. You can pretty much do anything you want with it and it won't break. Didn't say never, but it takes a TON of abuse.
