Members hasbeen Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 what type of point?...clip, sheep's foot, tanto etc.? If you don't know....what will you be using it for? Keep in mind that the higher quality knives that "keep an edge" usually have stainless blades. So, once they lose that edge, it is quite difficult to put back on. To me though, it sounds like you're describing a Buck of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BassMaster General Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 Knowing what you'll be using it for would be a help. Why a fixed blade? Any blade length requirements? Serrated/plain/combo edge? An everyday carry knife? Hiking/camping? For work and if so what do you do?I can offer loads of suggestions. But my general answer to people who are looking for a good cheap knife is to look at Spyderco and CRKT. Both offer some great affordable blades. Well made and stand up to abuse well. I usually carry three at work for various chores, so I've put a couple of hundred different knives through their paces:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are prone to snapping where the blade meets the hilt, especially if they ever see any rust (I've killed two). Great beater knives, but you'd be better off with a full tang knife IMHO.

Members SirMike1983 Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 WWII kabar is the gold standard in my book- classic and no non-sense.

Members BassMaster General Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 Can anyone recommend a good ceramic knife? Boker used to do a couple. Not sure if they do anymore.Best bet is usually custom makers like Mad Dog knives (Mirage X was one of 'em). Very $$$ though. They make great kitchen knives, not so good utility knives. Don't drop 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BassMaster General Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 And all them dead Huns and Japs didn't complain did they? Nope, but doesn't help him when he says he wants it to last 10 years. But then I buy knives to use, not really to show. They gotta stand up to minor abuse without breaking.

Sent it on deployment with friends a few times, been used, abused and put away wet. Still holds up.Cold Steel stuff in general is pretty bullet proof. Their fixed blades are high among THE toughest factory made blades you'll ever get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members playdrums Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 The best knife I've ever owned for all-around outdoors use is my Spyderco Native. You should definately check out Spyderco's stuff. Every knife I've owned from them has been well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BlackBelt Posted July 4, 2007 Members Share Posted July 4, 2007 For quality, I like Stryders, but they are a bit pricey. However, Buck makes a Stryder/Buck combo that will last your lifetime. I got one for $109. Just google Stryder Buck and it will pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
