Favorite fixed blade knife brands

[jfk1110]

Too many to list......Most of the .Makers here make something I want..........

 

[Unicorn161]

Spartan
Varusteleka
Ka-Bar/Becker/EK, especially the Becker brand

These have just one or two knives I really like, but in a couple cases that one knife is one of my favorites.
Toor. Has a few I like, the Mutant, Crewman, and the Mullet.
CRK for the Pacific
Winkler even though they don't fit my hands very well
Benchmade I love the Dacian and if they ever make an Anonimous without the skeletonized tang I'd get it in a heartbeat.
Cold Steel mostly for the Outdoorsman and the 3V SRK
Join or Die has a small pocket carry fixed blade I love

The list goes on. Most makers have something I really like, and only that handful have multiple knives I have or want.

What are the specs on that blade? It’s a great looking knife!

Thanks ... I'm thrilled with the design.
26.3 ounces
Almost 14" Blade AEB-L Bos treated 62 HRC
20.062" overall length
2" height flat/convex grind.
Approx. 0.193" thick spine
Natural linen micarta, chili pepper, and black Vulcan liners. Handmade aluminum and bronze hardware. Front flared tubing.

It was made as an experiment to push the steel, and HT. I didn't know if I could go that high in such a big blade?

Here is a picture with a blade you are very familiar with....4th pic down is a 1311 comparison, and some odds and ends

There are just so many good companies out there making quality fixed blades. I have a lot of them (around 100, not counting machetes) and I'd like to have a lot more of them.

I have very pedestrian taste. My favorite actual brands on fixed blade knives are Buck, Kabar and Mora.

Yeah, nuts. But I have been collecting for three decades. Also, many Ontarios because I like the styling. Several original run rtaks and marine raiders. Plus some new ones.
