Be aware that the standard gator and the gator with the cm154 blade are entirely different knives.The cm154 blade holds an edge for several times as long as the standard gator.

ORIGINAL: The knives I use are 25yrs old and are very special to me.
They where bought for me by my dad and I'll use nothing else.

Ya I know what you mean Joe-Beef.But he's 13 andI'll give him the benifite of the doubt.
Besides hunting is something he will not do alone, he'll be doing it with me..Legal age to hunt alone is 19 where I live.
I've got 6yrs to instill the importance of maintaing firearms knives optics ammo,sharpening stones etc.etc.
I'm not looking for the best of the best equipment just stuff I know is capableof giving him a lifetime of use and has a good waranty.I only want to do this once.I'm willing to take the blow now because I've got two girls ages 7&6 that are right behind him tell me "Daddy there's a Big Buck!!"
"Guess what Dad, I want a Gun for my Birthday ,so I can shoot a big Buck"

I prefer the Gerber but if your going to get a folding lock back I recommend taking the screws out and put lock tite on them and put them back. Ive had two fall apart on me while in use so now I always lock tite the screws. Jimmy

My wife gave me one of Kellam's folders a few years ago for Christmas. It is the best knife I have ever owned. Here's their website.
