[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2392429, member: 229"] The 15, 16, and 17 are exactly what I was looking at man. The BK2 is probably a little over-built (and heavier) than I'm looking for, but those Short series look perfect. The next MuleTeam from Spyderco is going to be S110V (which is stupid-high priced steel - and makes it an $89 knife), and even though it was a little smaller than I was wanting - I would have considered buying one or two for the right price. I've looked at kit-knives and everything else out there and I think I end up at $70 for a full-tang knife/scales/sheath. If you're talking about the USMC fighting Ka-Bar, they're great knives but aren't exactly ideal for Bushcraft (or any heavy duties other than easy slicing and/or fighting/stabbing). They have a scrawny tang under stacked washers (which isn't a bad thing for a slicer/fighter), but I'm really looking for something with full-tang construction (like their Becker line - if that's what you were talking about, then we're on exactly the same page). I'm not planning on doing any chopping or bataning, but I've bent a USMC Ka-Bar from just hard whittling. [/QUOTE]
