Hey guys,
I'm in real need of help trying to decide on my first fixed blade purchase. I'm use to carrying around my folders for daily carry and utility, so I've never had a fixed blade. But now I'm looking for a good strong 5" fixed blade that I could bring with me camping, have for a SHTF scenario, as well as the occasional daily carry when I want to change things up. So pretty much an all around good knife. My research has led me to narrow it down between the Swamp Rat Ratmandu and the Fehrman Last Chance. I wish i can get both but my funds only allow me to get one. So some advice as to which has the better steel, which handle is more comfortable, and which preforms better would be great from anyone who owns both.
Thanks in advance.
