Hopefully it will fit all your needs and requirements. Post some pics when it comes in.

Just throwing out another option, my dad bought a Case Kinzua and he's very happy with it. Granted he hasn't pried himself out of a car wreck with it, but might be something you could check out.

Don't mean to be disrespectful, I am born cheap, this is too much for me.
This is like drinking alcohol, some people like XO, single malt. Some just like the effect of alcohol. $8.99/1.75liter of vodka from Rite Aid give just as high as expensive ones. I belong to this kind.

Re: Look for knives with certain characteristics I want.
I received the Cold Steel Rajah III today. The blade is a little thinner than my liking, the base is 0.15", but the thickest part of the blade is only 0.14" and it's FULL FLAT GRIND, so majority of the blade is thinner than 0.14". BUT, one cannot argue with the video that the 220lbs guy stood in the middle of the knife supported on both ends in the prying direction and the knife survived.(see the youtube link I gave). I would like it to be Sabre grind with part of the blade at full thickness.
One present surprise, the pivot pin is 0.225" diameter, not quite as 0.25" of all the Steel Will knives, but at least is larger than a lot of knives that use 0.2" or under. So the pivot is not a weak point.
I still trying to get use to opening the knife, I just don't get use to the thumb tap. It's so much faster and easier on liner lock knives with flipper tap.
I still like my Steel Will 2 knives better....WARBOT and CENSOR. They both have stronger blades. I have to give the locking to the Rajah III, but I just don't quite get use to it. I am keep the Rajah III.
I am still waiting for the second order to come in, I bought another Warbot, a Cold Steel SR1 Lite and another cheap knife taking a chance.
