Hard to argue with the "3". The blade design was Bo's favorite, although I believe he "favored" the #7 for most of his needs. I have used a #3-5" for decades, along with my Stanaback Special and a #5-5" on hogs, turkey, whitetail, mulies and assorted "others"..."NEVER" a complaint!
Of all, my Model #3-5" would be my "go-to"...hands down! Mine (well...I have several, but my "primary") is O1 Swedish tool steel. It has thumb notches,,,"killa'" stag and a compass, along with name etching.
I have "also" had Greg (now Danny) Gutcher make me a waxed sheath, no hone pocket and a large "drain hole" to accommodate anything I may require...(which would and has included wading an Alabama swamp-or-creek to retrieve game!
I recently had the shop "re-tough-up" the blade to "like new" condition. I've worn out "2" sheaths and the one pictured below is #3, serving me quite well for past 4 years.
I just thought everyone who had one and loves it could post a pic or 2 and a story also...
What Say You?
Stay Sharp, Capt. Chris

Nice ones!

Here's mine. Nr. 3 5" with Axis deer handle, and nickel silver trimmings.

It's not my "go to" knife, that's an Airman, but 3's are sweet for sure.

Hold your hand over your right eye and you won't see the four next to it.
