Bill--

The Becker Necker (BK11) & the Bark Rivers are excellent suggestions, so I don't think you'd go wrong with either.

However, I'm also partial to Entrek knives ( web page) from Ray Ennis. I have his Javalina (yes, I know it's misspelled...), which might well fit your requirements. The JAG & Badger may well, also.

Entrek knives are well-designed & well-made (from 440C stainless, properly heat-treated, with canvas Micarta scales), and can indeed fall into the sharpened prybar category.

You might wish to replace the sheath, but you could adapt the factory Kydex to IWB (inside waistband) carry by trimming off the fixed belt loop and adding a small loop of leather or nylon webbing & a Chicago screw.

Whatever you choose, have fun with the selection process. Please let us know what you decide, & how you like it.

Regards,

David
