[QUOTE="Road Runner, post: 2507724, member: 26081"] For a medium size multi-purpose knife, I am a fan of the Knives of Alaska Trekker Series Knives. Specifically, I like the Elk Hunter. Even though it is called a hunting knife, it is also an excellent utility and tactical knife. This link has a review of the Elk Hunter knife [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=011wzAws5iM[/url] Here are my pros and cons Pros: made is USA very light to carry multi-purpose knife flat grind knife (if you prefer hollow grind knife, look at the Pronghorn Hunter) D2 steel (harder steel and better edge retention than AUS-8 and 420HC steel on less expensive knives) Relatively inexpensive for American made quality - currently on sale for $80 at Cabelas Cons: D2 steel is semi-stainless. It can stain or rust easier than a true stainless steel. I apply Ballistol occasionally to the D2 steel and haven't had any issues with staining or rusting. If you desire true stainless steel with a similar quality of steel as D2, I would look at knives with S30V steel. The Knives of Alaska Alpha Wolf Knife comes in your choice of D2 or S30V. Another favorite all purpose knife for approx. $80 is the Cold Steel Master Hunter with the VG-1 San Mai III steel. [/QUOTE]
