Recommend me a new fixed blade knife

[Hornswoggle]

I recommend MTech USA Xtreme MX-8054 Series Tactical Knife. It is ergonomically designed for easy handling and to offer maximum performance during use. The knife is built with 440 stainless steel material which is a very durable material and rust free. In addition, it comes with a G10 handle that gives this knife a perfect grip and the use finds comfort as they use it for their different purposes. I just ordered one for myself with the Oregon Pole Saw I recently saw a good review on this Oregon Pole Saw Review.

I just bought a Gerber Strong Arm from Gander Outdoors. Looking on Amazon, I see them for sale for $64 on Amazon and less on EBay. Fits my hand nicely, good sheath, most reviews rank it well.

I've decided to go with an ESEE knife. Now I just have to figure out which one.

Sure seems like Esee is a high quality knife. Ive been looking at their fixed blades from a folder guy perspective and they are super appealing. I feel like I need at least 1 good fixed blade in my collection to call myself a knife guy. Keep us in the loop on what you get. I would be interested in your opinion on them once you have 1 in hand.

I recommend MTech.

I went down the Esee wormhole about a year ago and I've been carrying it pretty exclusively since. I did just order a "budget" blade from Off Grid to see if I like D2.

Not really a knife enthusiast, but what is the advantage of a fixed blade over a folder? I have a couple SpiderCo. knifes, I usually always have one with me and they do the trick.

Strength. All folding knives, no matter how strong, are broken in the middle.

I had this same response. I think my face even looked like that. Ive never seen anyone genuinely recommend Mtech.

I do not have as many knives as most here on INGO but I do have several fixed bladed Battle Horse knives that I enjoy very much.

I prefer small to medium blades. Smaller the knife the more it is used.

I’m looking into Bark River knives myself.

I really like my Smokey Mountain Razor, but it's a little too thick. Someday I might get a Brumby flat grind for EDC.

You know I was being nice to you earlier, hell , I was going to deliver a stove to your door.
I'm happy that you dont need it now.
Now you've gone and made me look at yet another smallish fixed blade that I want to buy RIGHT NOW!

Stromeng Leuku... I got the 5" model a few years ago, and it made me yearn for the 4" / 8" combo set.

I skinned and quartered this years buck with mine. Start to finish with no resharpening.

Just got my first Tops and really like the build. Picked up the mini Scandi from Battlebox. Small but fits my hand well.

I have quite a few ESEEs and like them all but the Laser Strike and the 4 seem to get used the most.

 

[snowwalker]

Anything Esee or Jeff White if you're looking for a carbon steel blade. Honestly I'm still looking for something to love made out of stainless for being around water and stuff.

Benchmade Steep country CPM S30V steel and a very grippy handle.

I realize I am late and the OP last posted an interest in ESEE (which I like).
But, what about an Indiana option:
Pathfinder Knife Shop - Scorpion with Curly Maple
Small enough to carry, yet big enough for a variety of chores short of serious chopping...
