I haven't handled one and this is more along the lines of what I was wanting to hear...mostly about the weight in the hand from a user perspective....thanks for the info.

Best Survial Knife (A Must Have!)
- Thread starter armistead1979
- Start date
You're welcome! They all have big, bulky, squarish handles. I have big hands, and that is how I like them, easy to grip, even with freezing fingers or gloves on. My EESE-5 has a divit in the handle for use as the bearing block with a bow drill. Its a nifty feature; I don't think the shorter blades have it.
Ontario knives still makes the RAT series of knives (RC-#), since EESE parted ways with them (hence the name change to EESE). They are still good knives, but EESE doesn't cover them with their lifetime warranty.
Corwin: thanks for the comment about the Izula II. I didn't realize the handle is a full 1/2" longer, that makes a big difference.
Blind Horse PLSK1 A little pricey but impossible to beat.
This is a tough one... I have a spec plus I bought in the 80s that is still top notch but I'v had this cold steel bushman since the 90s ind for a true survival knife you can't beat it. Great knife, good steel and is made to also be a spear....

Still looking for my Esee 3 or 4 but while at the Swap-Meet-n-Greet in Dalton I ran across Scott Davidson of Solid Rock Knives and brought this beauty home!
SOG Seal Pup Elite. Used it for a couple years. I've put it through hell and it's still going strong. Can cut down a tree haha
Nice knife--they look artful and solid! Is that the raghorn hunter?
I have messed around with one of these and its freaky cool
I am not sure the Model name...I know it is one of Scott's Hunter series of knives...he has a few more listed HERE.....Scott is a great guy to deal with too...
Those are great knives.
Have you seen this knife? It has a drilled out area in the handle to use for a bow drill. Very cool.
