Carbon steel fixed blade

[Michael Andrews]

Esee 4 or BK16 get my nod. Both are good. Get the one you like holding the most. Esee usually seem to come a little better finished in terms of even bevels etc, but 1095 is easy to sharpen.

The swamp rat rat man du is a must have in 5” fixed blades imo. Or at least the syco 511 if you like the Busse and kin idea. The Falkniven S1 is a great one to if you like you F1 then you will like the S1 too. Love my ESEE’s to. I don’t have the Becker BK-16 but it is on my list to try. Just so many freaking options out there it’s hard to go wrong lol.
