Interesting the similarities to the Nesmuke minus the use as an eating utensil. The Cold steel is a throw down knife IMO. Grohman's are good and I like to support the originator. The Stag handle models keep going up in price it seems.
Bark River & KOA may have better steel but not a huge difference but I am a fan of properly done D2. Stainless vs Carbon is mostly personal preference but I go for carbon unless it is a fishing knife.
Herters I don't know will look them up later.
My personal choice would be a Stag handled original in Carbon steel.
But then I would also be tempted to have Michagan Roadkill make one up in M4 or S35V for the ultimate Canadian Belt Knife.
Stapleton's Great Adventure in Canada always has good prices on stag handled Grohmanns. Prices listed are in Canadian funds. They carry all models in stainless, carbon, sabre grind and flat grind.
