Hello BF,

I'm more of a folder guy. So I'm looking for a sub 5 inch fixed blade, that is nice and light, more of a Lightweight tactical fixed blade that can handle some light survival work. Always been a fan of SOG Seal Pup Elite - but wished it used a higher end steel. Looking for a knife that is similar in purpose, the price really doesn't matter. Look forward to see what you gents use and suggest.

#1 - Carothers Field knife(amazing knife!) 2- Bradford 4 M390 #3- C3 custom 3V knife. I have a Busse infi blade that I like but is 5.25 inch blade.
 
Nothing wrong with the Seal Pup Elite. AUS-8 is fine, it sharpens up easily and keeps the price point reasonable.

I like the Gerber Strongarm as well, and also like the short Ka-Bar.

My favorite is the Camillus CUDA CQB 4 from Camillus USA. Terzoula designed, made of good stuff and fun as hell.
 
Bark river offers a lot of designs in various materials. Maybe check one of those out. Is there anything else that you are looking for that could narrow the search? If price doesn't matter, maybe find a maker and go custom.
