I know I'm gonna take some flak for this, but lately I've become
obsessed with large fixed blades with micarta scales, I have 2
BK9s, an ontario rtak2, and rd9, and a junglas. I just ordered a
Buck hoodlum and an rd9 bush (the thinner one)
Anyone know of any other production blades that fall into this
category? Traditional style blade, full tang, micarta scales, 9in.
plus blade.
Thanks for any help!
 
Condor Boomslang. Also, look at the Entrek line, some of those may suit.
 
Condor Boomslang comes immediately to mind, 11 inch blade, micarta scales.

Condor Warlock parang style machete, 12.5 inch blade, micarta scales:

They also have their 18 inch El Salvador machete with micarta scales:

Umm, dude, I think you misread what he was asking for. He wasn't just looking for "big knives"(that's why I only suggested 3, rather than a couple dozen), he specifically states that he wants 9+ inch blades with micarta scales. Not one of the blades you listed has micarta scales...2 of them are kraton, and one of them is some sort of faux-G10. Don't get me wrong, I got no problems with any of the 3 you listed, but if the guy is looking for micarta...those don't fit the bill.

To OP, they may be out of your price range(they're certainly out of mine), but Cold Steel has their Laredo Bowie and Natchez Bowie available with micarta scales(also the Black Bear Classic, which has a blade just 3/4 an inch shy of 9 inches), but they're also both over $300. Definitely more than I would pay for them, but hey, you may have more disposable income than me, and these may be an option for you, so I figured I'd mention them just to be all inclusive, heh.

correct, sorry about that I will correct.
 
Not sure why you would take any flak for that, micarta is good stuff and plenty of us like big choppers. I would look at Bark River as they have a few larger knives that are offered with micarta scales. They also make knives for BlackJack and the Tac Ops 8 looks like it might be up your alley.
 
I think just about everything from Tops comes with micharta. Sounds like you own all of the others except for the condor offerings.
 
Survive Knives GSO-10

Busse also has a bunch of knives that fit your criteria but you'll have to get most of em' 2nd hand and they'll cost a pretty penny
 
I believe the Swamp Rat Rodent 9 fits the bill...

Middle knife in this pic, 9 inch blade and 52100 steel:thumbup::



Edited to add my fav big knife that meets your criteria; the Busse NMFBM (top one in this old pic of it). What a beast:
