I am looking for opinions and suggestions on a fixed blade tactical/military style knife. My requirments are:
No combo/serrated edge.
Must be FULL tang.
Around .250 in. thick.
Blade must be 5-7in. in length.
No rubber handles (ie, Kraton and like crap).
Made of a quality steel... I would prefer D2, 1095 carbon steel, or similar. But will consider others.
I like Cold Steel's Recon and SRK but can't stand the cheep rubber feel of the handle. I love the looks, and hardcore aspects of the Strider Knives and Tops Knives but can't afford thier price tags... I am willing to spend around $150.00 +or- a few $ for a decent blade. If you have any suggestions or comments please let me know.. Thanks.
