So I think I want a fixed blade now....

[lovemachine]

So I think I want a fixed blade now. To be honest, I have no need for one. But, I am a little envious of the guys that have one, because I don't have one.
I don't know what I would ever use it for, what I would cut/chop. But it would be nice to have ONE, just in case I ever have the need for one.

Where do I even start?

Budget would be $100-$200.

Knife lady for a start... Esee 3 or 4 or 5 would be a good start for your price range.

I have both the 3 and 5. This past weekend I used my 5 to cut something and realized I may want the 6 now.

You can pick one up off Mike at the 1500 if it ever survives the first 2 seconds at the booth

The Condor boomslang looks like a pretty sweet blade for $80 or an esee junglas for $160, cant go wrong with those

For the money it's hard to beat the SYKCO 711, great piece of steel!

I would go with the 5, good for about anything and everything.

You talking about an Esee?

 

[Bradsknives]

If your going to go with an ESEE, you really need to handle the 3, 4, 5, and 6 to see which one you think will serve you the best. Oh, and you need to check out the new Laser Strike model also.

Don't do it man!

Knives in general are addicting, fixed blades that chop down tress are like the crack of the knife world. So whatever you do, do not touch a ESEE Junglas. If you do you will be hooked after the first time you use it to sever some poor defenseless sapling (or 2X4). You have been warned, its a dark road. By the way if you need a fix, see Knife Lady.

If I could spend $200,and wanted one fixed blade.....I would save a little longer,til the next 1500,then bargain hard with a dealer selling Randalls

Good luck with that. He does not bargain well. Besides for a Randall dealer he does not have much of a selection.

I found that I don't really use my fixed blade much...It's an Esee 4

What in the hell do you guys use yours for?

 

[Brandon]
