This is where personal preferences come into things. I am pretty much stuck on knives that follow the basic Bob Loveless design.

Below are another two knives by Linder that I own.



The top one is better in terms of build quality and steel used, but I prefer the overall shape of the bottom one. The top one was a gift and has great sentimental value and therefore I never take it in the field as I consider it irreplaceable.

The bottom one I've had for many years and while the build quality is very average, the 440C steel takes an edge easily and that edge is very easy to touch up. While it is no super steel, the 440C holds an edge long enough for my purposes. Overall, I just love the shape of the knife and if I ever commission a custom knife, that is what I want duplicated, but perhaps a touch bigger, about the size of the top one..
