New Knife anyone?

[Muffin]

Hey guys I'm looking to buy myself a new fixed blade knife. Preferably between 5-7 inches. If anyone has any suggestions i would love to hear them! I would be using it mainly for Survival purposes like in wooded areas and things like that. I need to get me one for Civil Air Patrol to add to my Search and Rescue Gear.

It would also help to know what you are going to use it for.

I just bought a Blind Horse Knives Woodsman Pro and really like it. Check them out.

There's also Bark river, Tom Krein, Busse/Swamp rat, ESEE, even the Spyderco Bushcrafter or temperance 2, and a hundred others out there that would work.

I'm really fond of the Spetsnaz shovel they have

Some good info. In the beginning at least...it gets a little odd toward the end

What's your price range?


If you're going $150 or under, check these out:

The Rodent 6 would be tough to beat, SR101 is pretty tough.

I would suggest looking at scrapyard, swamp rat, blind horse knives and depending on your price range maybe even busse.

sometimes you gotta have the best

they are definitely a damn good knife but there are more out there for sure. bark river, swamp rat, scrap yard, becker, blah blah blah lots out there. don't just limit yourself to one brand. there are lots of options everyone and knifelady can get most of them for you

Thanks Grunt. I can get most of them except for a couple you have mentioned but I aways have some ESEE's in stock.

The ESEE 6 is a great blade for the money. Take a close look at one and you will like it. Good luck!

Don't overlook the ESEE Laser Strike either. I think the handle is more comfortable than any of the other ESEE knives.

I only had mine for about two weeks before I sold it...only because I got this huge urge to get a different knife. It is very likely I will get another eventually for use at work. For around $100 it is really a good deal.
