Thanks for the reviews Vogeler. I have to tell you that when I go out I take a Victorinox Farmer and usually a Mora 510 with a neck lanyard sheath. So, all the Ka-Bar, ESEE and TOPS knives are not my style at all, with the TOPS BoB being the closet to something I might own. Your reviews should provide someone with a sound idea of what the 3 are like and how they are priced. Definately good info.

You should take a look at a custom like a Skookum Bushtool or a Woodlore clone by Adventure Sworn. The prices are less than you paid for the BoB and Ka-Bar. A Skookum would be a nice, last a lifetime investment. Cheers!
