I have a k-bar, I have had it for over 30 yrs, I see no need for anything else other than a pocket knife for smaller chores. The k-bar is inexpensive and thoroughly utilitarian, no fancy crap. They can and have gone to hell and back.
I have had SOG, Gerber and other knives, but the steels are too brittle for real work, although I do like the SOG multi tools.Last edited by nun2sharp; 03-30-2011 at 12:23 PM.

I'm a big fan of ESEE knives. Really well made, and the warranty is great - if you break it for any reason, even doing something idiotic, they will replace it no problem (and they really do). I have an ESEE-4 which is about a 4.5" blade and an Izula which is more of a pocket knife at somewhere under 3". Both are fantastic. They also have some bigger knives if that is what you are after. They use 1095 steel which is heat treated to be very resilient and easy to sharpen.
