My favorite knives

All Three knives

I own many knives and a few of them are good enough to trust with my life.

1) My everyday carry knife is the Tom Brown Tracker 2. It is a rather expensive ($280.00 ish) knife but I've found it very much worth it.
Blade Length: 3 1/2"
O/A Length: 9 1/2"
Draw Knife: 2"
Blade Height: 2"
Blade Thickness: 3/16"
Blade Steel: 1095 High Carbon Alloy RC-58
Blade Color: Black Traction Coating
Handle Material: Black Linen Micarta®
Sheath: Kydex With Two Rotating Steel Spring Clips
Mfg. Handcrafted in the USA

2) If I'm in need of a larger knife I use an Ontario RAT 7. This isn't too badly priced at all (around $100.00) and is a high quality knife.
