I own a Rant, 10502. I think it's a great value.

It's sort of like the two Cold Steel knives often mentioned, the Master Hunter and the SRK. But it's made by Benchmade.

The only "fault" I might mention is that the swedge on the back results in a somewhat smaller area on which you can baton -- it that's even a consideration for you.
