Go to www.knifeforums.com and register. Try to connect with Bagheera in the outdoor survival forum. He is a fellow countryman. He seems to buy and sell equipment and can help you locally. He is a good friend to make!

Hi PC2K,<br><br>I live in Holland to and I have, through working for an US based company, a good number of US made knives tyhat don't cost 'double' but have cost me US prices.<br>Buck folders, Benchmade Nimravus, CKRT so just drop me an email and perhaps you'll end up with an US priced knife.<br><br>No I'm no dealer, I'm just a Scoutmaster and knives are part of my outdoor passion and sometimes I'm to passionate wink <br><br>Best Scouting wishes from Holland,<br><br>Bagheera

Robb,<br><br>Oh, how I envy the fact that cost is no issue for you.<br><br>My advice is to go with the Sebenza. They are highly regarded on this forum and others for good reason. I don't have one (money is always an issue for me), but I have handled and used a friend's. Very nice knives. You can I believe have them laser engraved, which would be a nice touch for a Father's Day present. <br><br>It is a big knife as folders go, so that may be a problem for EDC for you. You are a suit and tie person, right? If that is a problem look into the Kershaw Double Cut/Cross knives. These are traditional looking knives with modern materials and features. I have a Double Cross and am very fond of it. They are not, however, heavy duty/wood-splitting knives.<br><br>As always, these are just my opinions, and often other people (especially my wife) do not agree with them.<br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy

PC2K,<br>I suggest that you look into Bladeforums.com. I've found that this knife site is the most informative for any, and I do mean ANY, question that you may have about custom and production knives, swords, daggers, etc..<br><br>p.s.--robb, I have the Spyderco Military model in PlainEdge that serves as an excellent work folder, as well as, an outdoor survival knife. Blade is CPM440V steel, blade length is 4", handles are G10 scales with spacers for easy cleaning, and its' linerlock is nested in scales for thinner profile. Overall this is an excellent survival folder IMO, with a price ranging from $125-$150, unless you shop around. After some browsing on the net, I got my Millie for about $110. Good luck.
