[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1480117, member: 229"] Well, I couldn't decide, so I ordered 3. LDP, I wish you had posted about a day sooner :) I got the Gayle Bradley because I've heard too many folks talk about how beefy it is (and for a liner-lock, its seriously strong - huge liners). I also was interested in the CPM-M4 carbon steel blade, so that had something to do with it. I was looking for a cheaper knife and had heard good things about the Kershaw Packrat (don't know too much about the 14C28N stainless steel, but its supposed to be hold an edge better than AUS8). Its supposed to be ergonomically awesome and I like the blade-shape for doing intricate cutting (and the orange G10 scales are pretty cool too - especially given my knack for loosing flashlights/knives).
