Fixed blade for the field

[peterk1234]

I have been using the Gerber model that has three blades for a few years. Overall, it's a great knife except for one thing. I trip the release button when I place my index finger or thumb on the backbone of the blade.

So it's time for a new fixed blade. I've been eyeballing the Benchmade steep country and the MFC whitetail or blackfoot.

Thoughts? The Benchmade is quite a bit less. Those g10 handles really start to push the price up.

Benchmark is hard to beat.

I own several benchmades, all great knives. Got a saddle mountain with s90 steel, it holds a amazing edge just PIA to sharpen. I breakdown several animals between sharpening so edge holds well. You will not regret getting one but for most i would recommend just get the 30v steel version.

I got a MKC Stonegoat recently TBD how it performs but I have high hopes. I have been full havalon replaceable until now.

Perfect user knife. If you want to spend over $100-150 get a Charlie May or Gene Ingram. Razor blades!

Mkc is good but not a fan of bolt g10 handles. I put a new handle on mine.

$20, used it along side a skinning blade too. Not casting shade on these more expensive blades, I have some incredibly expensive knifes as well.

I like my expensive knives but the Mora really is tough to beat. You can get those things scary sharp.

Mora is absolutely great for $20-50

I love my Gerber Pro Guide Series 925 fixed blade. It was in my kit for 30 years or more. I retired it when I switched to the Gerber EBS "Newberg Special"

The biggest surprise to me has been Chinese fixed blades I bought at the Arrowhead gas at Wildhorse Casino in Pendleton. Cheap as hell, but outstanding.
I can't say the same for their automatics.

Ruana or you're a homo, or so I've heard.

A buddy turned me on to these last year. I was looking for a knife to complement my Havalon and be able to bust joints and stand up to abuse.

$80ish. High quality. Holds an edge. Will always have one with me.
