What should I get??? Benchmade...HELLE...KOA... or ESEE?

[hawk1]

I've done my research; touched 'em all and still can't make a decision. I need some help from those that have owned/ used them regularly. All of them have their pros and cons. But I want local reviews.

The correct answer is, "Get them all, sell what you don't like in TP."

SO if I were to go with the BEST QUALITY steel, the HELLE knives would be the best. But, they are kinda "plain" looking. Benchmade knives use S30V steel which is pretty damn good too....So is Knives of Alaska D2 steel.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I like the ESEE knives. Although, I also really like a couple of other manufacturers that aren't even on your list. Not to make your choices worse but look into Tops and DPX.

Lol. I have that one. Except mine has the black and green G10 handles.

I was thinking you should buy it... decide you already have too many knives... and sell one (maybe more) to me because we both live in Thornton and it would be a quick drive!!!!
