Favorite fixed Blade Under 6 inches and 75$?

[Vivi]

As the title says, what are your favorite fixed blades in this category.

Right now DLT Trading has some Bark River ELKs on sale for that price or a tad higher.

Otherwise, you can get a Scandanavian-style knife from Helle, Karesuando, Marttinni, etc. Buck has some nice knives in that range, the Special/Woodsman/Pathfinder and the Vangard. I also like the Canadian-made Grohmann knives - #1, #2, and #3 should be under $75.

Tons of choices. Good luck,
-Bob

How about a Benchmade Rant? I have one, and it is my truck knife.

Fallkniven F1 $80.00 (close to $75.00) with laminated steel blade. Excellent knife.

buck woodsman or special are both below $75.00 as well as some greco knives. I have a greco mst that cost 50.00 and it is outstanding!!

6" OAL or 6" blade?

If its 6" OAL that is a hard one for me to answer.

Probably my BRKT Woodland.

They look nice, but going even one step further down, has anyone tried the Gamer fixed blades from BM? I see them under 30$

Spydie Fred Perrin Street Bowie - I think the black-bladed ones are around $80. This knife is SOOOOO great!

Cold Steel SRK

 

[averageguy]

I like the SRK and Master Hunter - the TAK D2 can be had in this price range.

 

[Ebbtide]

IJ 1244

It comes in right at your limit IIRC.
Also available with a wood (birch?) handle, same blade, for a bit less.

 

[Helle]

I agree with fishface5 the Perrin is sweet.

 

[frank k]

Spyderco Temperance.

I have and like the gamer, but the handle is a little thin and can be a little hard on your hand after extended use.

That's what it looked like to me. Oh well, I'm just kind of seeing what's out there right now, not purchasing one anytime in the next few weeks.

Thanks for all the photos etc, reduces my google search time

Will check out all these recommendations

Ontario TAK-1.

Looks very nice, seems like it'd be sturdy....very sturdy.

Would 1 of those really be better than having two of these though?

Seems it's twice as expensive as the Ontario I currently have so that just popped into my mind.
