I’ve always liked TRC, but they can be a bit pricy. They’ve also made some knives for James Williams Designs, but again, maybe too far over budget. I like the LionSteel knives and Fallkniven knives, but they may not have the type of design you’re looking for. Besides the length, are there other specifications that you might be looking for? MikeMost knowledgeable CPKers, I’m in the market for a “combat/tactical” knife 6-8 inches and interested in your suggestions. The UF2 is preferred but a bit more coin than I want to spend. Due to my targeted budget of +/- $350, I’m thinking nonCPK. Appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks for the shout outSharpBits .
The new MFers have a 7" blade, 11 1/4" overall length, and despite the very different profile from the UF2, match the general spec requirements proposed. However the price doesn't match the stated budget, I'm sorry. MFer is over $100 too little in cost. I wish I could have served your better. I guess I could always bling it up to bring the price up to your budget.

Also, ignore 15N20, I ended up cancelling the model in that alloy, so only AEB-L is coming this year, heat treated by Jarod Todd. I will have three units, one of which is claimed already.
