I've noticed as I get older my knives get smaller (grams=ounces=pounds) I started with a K-BAR, went to a SOG SEAL, then a Cold Steal SRK, and for a short time I used a Cold Steel Kukri. Recently we just got issued one of these...http://www.benchmade.com/products/pr...aspx?model=140 and it sold me. It's small, light weight, but feels good, and can do anything I need it to do. This and a Gerber, is all I ever take to the field (blade wise)
