That's a good deal and definitely a nice knife. But be careful, they can be addicting.

The ESSE was going to be my first choice but I got such a good deal on the RAT that I bought it and a Case Trapper to replace the one I lost.

The Junglas might be my next fixed blade knife.

I bought the Esse 3 to replace the 4 that I lost. (sickening feeling) I didn't get the same one just in case I found the 4 again. Well happily eight months later I found it and I'm kind of glad that I planned ahead.

I've had one for about a year and the sheath, although cheap feeling, is well made for a plastic sheath. Mine has held up fine attached to my BOB for the year I have had it and I swap it between that and carry duty often. The knife is great, the sheath has not gotten loose or changed in any way since I got it. A nice leather sheath would be cool for this nice little knife though!

I've got to ask, Dale: are you the photographer? Those are all excellent shots of your knives.

[PS-RagE]

Thanks, yes. I insist on taking a good "artsy" photo of each knife before it rotates into pocket duty. I also keep a "file photo" of each against a white paper background for insurance purposes. In fact, later today I plan today to update the file with my latest acquisitions.

Couple of new ones here, though I hate to post these crappy cell phone pics after seeing some of the ones above!

A Spyderco sprint run Paramilitary2 with gray G10 handles and Carpenter's CTS 20CP steel. A great knife, nice size with great edge retention and a ergonomically easy to operate lock. Really, the first knife I've lost, ever. I still have the first Spydie I bought, 30 years ago.

So, off to my favorite purveyor, and found another sprint run Para2, with brown G10 and CPM S35VN steel.

I'm out the $ of course, but I had gotten really attached to that Para2 that I lost. I figured I'd just grab another Para2 with the black scales, but when I saw the brown version, I was all in the store! I've got enough black knives- a bit of color is nice.

As for the steel, I was impressed with the earlier alloy, CTS 20CP. I probably will not notice a huge improvement over that, but what the heck.

I'm really sorry to hear that you lost your Para2. I also have a Para2 that I just love. Mine is a standard run with G10 handle and a black combo blade. I'm glad that you picked up a cool replacement! I also have my original Spyderco. It's a Delica that I found at a Mardi Gras parade over 20 years ago.

I seem to be on a loosing streak. Loosing daily carry knives. I have some nice knives, but can't justify an expensive daily. Can you guys recommend something under maybe $40, preferably with a clip, with a blade around 3".
The handle on my cheap Smith & Wesson broke. Guess it was too cheap. I can't remember which brand was preferred, but it was Spyderco or Benchmade.

With that description, I'd go with a Spyderco Delica, but it will likely be a bit above $40. If that's a hard limit, try the Tenacious.

Put a $500 knife in your pocket. I guarantee you'll never lose it.

[Motomantra]

Yea, a $500 knife I'd be afraid to use.

Very nice look to it, thanks. Never heard of it, but that's why I'm here.
