Dual edged, fixed blade fighter/dagger recommendations please!

[Gr80Cakes]

I am looking for a dual edge, fixed blade, fighter in the 6 to 8 inch blade length range. I love the looks of the RJ Martin Vanguards; Odyssey, Quest, & Centurion, the Mercworx Sniper, even the Randall Model 2, but prefer the re-curve shapes of the Mercworx and RJ Martin knives. I'd like to spend about $200, maybe as much as $300, and would like it made of a decent performing steel. What do you all recommend?

Fallkniven MC1 @ just over 9.0"

Bark River. They make a lot of dagger models out of very good steels and they have incredible HT.

I know of one on the market right now that fits your criteria. It's a bit of a traditional model but it will spank the hell out of most modern tactical daggers.

Another good option is Szabo Knives, if you were willing to raise your investment cost.

Sweet knife, but doubt you'll find it for under $350..

Thanks for those suggestions so far! If anyone else has any more, I'm still all ears

Try the Cold Steel Counter Tac 1. This is the one on top. I owned the Counter Tac 2 (on bottom) and boot carried it for 6 months. Good knife for under $100.
