Thinking about this some more, I would want a knife with a handle like an Opinel or Mora Classic made out of G10 or Micarta with a Schempp cant, a liner, compression, or mid-lock locking system, and a blade like the Lum Tanto or Gayle Bradley.

Thanks again for all your help. 10SBUM The Lansky Diamond Ceramic 4-Rod Turnb...
