I like the Ka-Bar Mark 1 for my small fixed blade.

@TheRATPT01 I don't have a HEST to do a review. I see DPx is bring out some new fixed blades, the 6" looks interesting, but the price seems high. It will be interesting to see reviews when they get into folks hands.

I'd like to see an ESEE HEST vs. the RAT-3. I believe you can still find the HEST for maybe 200 bucks on the net. Kinda expensive but...Great review as always!
