    Here ya go.
    Top: SOG SEAL Pup, early version with "SEKI-JAPAN" blade stamp. Tip has been broken and reground, sharpened more times than I can count, also sharpened an edge along an inch or so on top.
    Middle: Ka-Bar D2 Extreme, this is the tool steel one. Tip has been broken and reground (missing about 1"), butt broken off, also sharpened the top curve.
    Bottom: CRKT M16-14SFG, has lost teeth on serrations since that pic.

    I treat my knives more as tools than simply blades. They see as much time prying, hammering, etc. as they do cutting

    I have more damn pocket knives with broken tips !!! When I saw the HEST(bottom knife) for me that was the answer for a fixed blade work knife. It has held up really well with that prybar addition.

    May be getting hard to find-I don't believe they're in production anymore ?
    DPX and ESEE split and then DPX went maniacal and I don't know if they're around anymore ? Seems like this dealer may have found some but he says they are no longer available and stock will run out.

    Hey man, I swear I saw a few for sale on ebay. I'm looking seriously at a camel tan RC-4.

    I have a Seal 2000 knife that sits in a box. I'm sure it's tough, but just too damn big for me to see any practical use. The Seal Pup, on the other hand is a good all-rounder in terms of size, price and quality. I was given a LMF II, and it's a good beefy knife, and something I would consider a "survival" knife, but definitely not something I'd take hunting (the seal pup I'd consider). Too clumsy for me.

    I have a Boker Integral Hunter that's probably my favorite, but also three times the price as the others...




    You certainly don't need to spend that much to get a serviceable knife, and it's not a Randall, but they are very good quality.

    Here you go Hurley-try not to drool in your coffee

    I have a couple Ontario RAT knives and a tak II. Do you think ESSEE are better quality than the original RAT knives?

    This is the one I carry the most for camping, fishing, hunting, pretty much anywhere out side the city. Ontario TAK, holds a good edge, takes a beating. I like the WERE knives and plan on getting more than I should.

    Ontario knives are good and so is the Tak II. The difference with the ESEE knives is the heat treatment by Rowan that has really improved the quality,plus the sheaths that come with them. This was the main reason for the split between Jeff Randall and Ontario. JMHO
