Save a few more pennies - OK, maybe dollars - and buy Doug's RSK Mk3 fixed blade knife. It is a fantastic camp/outdoors knife that I KNOW you'll like.
Right about now you're saying "How can I afford to spend $165 on a knife?" Keep in mind that it is sooo easy to buy knife #1 for $40-$60, and then buy slightly better knfie #2 for $50, and so on. You spend lots of money and still aren't really happy with your knives.
There are a lot of fixed blade knives out there, but none really had the features I wanted - about 5" long, drop point, moderately thin but strong blade, lanyard hole.
The closest was the Benchmade Rant DPT, but I didn't like the handle on it and it didn't have a lanyard hole. I bought a Becker BK10 Crewman, but the blade is a bit too thick to be a nice general camp knife. My favorite blade shape & thickness was the Becker Necker, but I hated the handle and carbon steel isn't rust resistant enough for a camp knife (that might go a few days without cleaning).
I had read that Doug Ritter was coming out with a fixed blade and decided to wait in hopes it would be nice. In the mean time I bought a #748 from
http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html for $16 which now resides in my camping kitchen gear.
I'm glad I waited.
