Heinnie Haynes - EKA Swede 10 for 36.95 .
Im a big fan of the Ontario RAT folder, theres 2 sizes (large and small!), though I use a fixed blade primarily. Strong, easy to clean and holds a great edge, good price too (less than £40 if you shop around)
How "non slip/grippy" is the handle on the ESEE rat? I really like the orange handle one.
+1 Martiini good steel very sharp. Tony at Moonraker is a top bloke, what he dosent know aint worth knowing.I have a Martiini folder and it is a good size, strong blade good for gralloch and skinning. Can shave with it. And a realistic price. Try Moonraker Knives.
its a nylon type rather than rubber but I find it very easy in the hand, helped by the finger cut out and a nice ridge for the thumb. its fairly slim, easy to clean and you can remove the belt clip if you need to. I don't use folders as a main knife for gralloch but as a backup and everyday its brilliant imo.
Ta, the only other thing that caught my eye was how high up the knife sits on a belt, all the other "shieth" knifes I've had had the top or the handle about, or slightly above, my belt, the ESEE 3 seems to have the bottom of the handle, where the blade starts, level with the top of the belt, do you find the ok?
