    that bugout looks nice. I like the belly on the blade.

    Kershaw looks good but lacks the belly.

    The spyderco looks like it's a touch shorter in the handle. Maybe not giving the leverage you need when field dressing.

    The gerber is probably the most cost effective if you want a knife in the pocket. Lacks the cool factor when gifting it.

    You're right. A lot like that silver night. Traditional feel for sure.

    for the bugout, the serrated blade seems almost gimmicky. Anyone get it with the serrated blade?
    I think if I pass on that option I don't think the receiver will be really wishing it was the serrated option, even if they don't hunt....?!

    I handled one yesterday with the serrated option. Scary sharp, but that's about all it has going for it in my opinion. My Skeletool has a half serrated blade on it, I've never really seen the value, personally.

    If you're going to buy a Kershaw, make sure they are made in Japan or the US, Those a very good knives.

    I have been carrying a Spyderco Wayne Goddard for years now for an EDC. I have been super tough on it and no issues. VG-10 steel.

    Good steel came from Sheffield or Solingen . . . . then along came the Japanese. Superb tool steels, some of the finest in the world, and fueled by BC coal.

    I usually carry a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian with a sheep's foot blade, 20CV steel. Great knife that was a gift to me. Bought my daughter one as a gift too. I have always admired the Bugout and mini Bugout and think either would be great. So many good Spyderco knives to choose from as well. I carried a Centofante 3 for a few years until it was stolen.

    Watch the Blade HQ YouTube channel. They always have great reviews on different categories of knives, including EDC.
