I tend to think the tradition knife designs are the best, and therefore my favorite brand is Randall Made. The Randalls are expensive and I own only one, but I have yet to see any knife come closer to what I think is the ideal combat knife, than my Randall Model 14.
For a more affordable fixed blade, Cold Steel is the place to look. Their Recon Scout is a good lower priced alternative to the Randall Model 14.
