The ATS-34 blades stay sharp and are rugged. The handles are tough and the cross lock a must. Again, for the cost they hold their own for skinning game and light fieldcraft. But ,they do perform well in the field. The CLIP-IT plastic handled blades are very lightweight, but way over priced.
All cadre carry custom neck knives as well.
Again the best blade is the one you are carrying and the worst is the one that was left at the barracks.
