I love CRKT knives, in fact I carry one almost everyday (for EDC I switch back and forth between CRKT Badger and Kershaw Composite Leek). Kommer designed some great hunters for Columbia River, but I just decided to choose these four knives for this article. I love the SOG because it eliminates a tool from my pack - and SOG always makes good quality stuff. I love the Boker because it is such a well-made prod. knife - even though it's going to cost more. The other two I chose because they are good representatives of the type of prod. hunter that the average guy would buy - at "working man's prices," as dneaster3 said.
