a friend of mine is set on buying a new knife and he has a browning catalog and an itchy check book. my question is this, are browning knives any good??? I had a browning trapper about 100 years ago and it seems like it was a good knife. I think the new ones are made in japan {seki} which is fine but i don't know. you people have all knowing knowledge so cough up and enlighten me please. thanks, ahgar
 
I only have experience with the Icestorm. I think it's a nice knife. I paid $40 for it and it has a good VG-10 blade in it.

It might help if we knew exactly what he was looking at.
 
I have alot of experience with thier fixed blade in AUS8a and I love it. Its in their featherweight series and the edge held well and for as long as I would expect it to dressing animals. So depending on what model I would say if he really likes em give it a shot.
 
sounds like it's not a bad knife for the money, if you don't pay too much. as far as model i don't know what model he has in mind, i don't think he knows what model he's looking at. thanks guys, ahgar
 
I thought the Brownings were either made in Japan or Camillus production.

I'd think they would be good knives for the money, no different than similiar products offered by others that are made on Japan (folders, it looks like) or by Camillus.
