$100 to spend on your only fixed blade???

they don't get a lot of press but the CS bushman is a great blade esp. for the price. my fave fixed blade is the master hunter in carbon v.

I don't own one but I hear that a Koster Bushcrafter can be had for that price and there is very little it can't do.

That's not really a production blade: I went to the website and there were none available. And it looks like his waiting list is pretty long. It did look like a nice knife, though.

Could that be a Mac thing, or is their store not working, or am I doing something wrong? I know the link says this model won''t be up for sale until tomorrow, but none of the other knives seem to be available in the store.

Scrapyard knives are very limited production - when they're available, people pounce on them, and when the production run is sold out that's it until the next run.

Whenever it might be.
 
Spyderco Moran Drop Point is worth considering, IMO. Lightweight, excellent VG-10 steel, a serious 4" blade cutter, only about $60.
 
Entrek javalina(got mine for $95), or any of Ray's line. There's always the Buck special
 
Anyone mentioned Ontario RAT-3? I know RAT Cutlery is doing their own thing now, but their version of the 3 incher will (or probably already is) more than $100.

My apologies if this has been done 100 times before, but I 'm a new guy and I can't search.

If you had $100 to spend on ONE knife to be your hunting/camping/backpacking/end of the world blade, what would you buy?
Here are the restrictions I would like to place on your suggestions:

1. Fixed blade
2. Production model available today on the market (unless you know a custom knife that meets the $100 requirement)
3. Blade length somewhere around 3 to 6 inches

Your suggestions welcome
