Mike,
I have no dog in this discussion, just going to pass along my experience: I have probably 10 manufacturers hunting knives from makers like Benchmade, Gerber, Buck, SOG, and Cabelas. My best knife ever by far is a custom from Tim Olt that I purchased summer before last. Next best is an older Buck 118 in 440C. Cold Steel has decent factory blades, but a custom from Tim or Godogs will not only look better but stay sharper longer, and probably sharpen up fairly easily for the next task. I would have been money ahead if I'd learned about customs long ago - really doubt I ever go after another factory fixed blade knife.
Bless you, good hunting,
