I'm coming back into the knife world after a long absence. Long enough that I might as well be a beginner. I'm interested in buying a heavy duty, folding fighting knife. It's going to be my Christmas present, so, price is no concern. The steels available now are light years ahead of what was being used when I was still keeping up with knives (1990s). Following closely are the ergonomics of the knife. Even though I have been out of the loop in edged weapons I still carry 2 knives with me wherever I go. One is a Benchmade, designed by Emerson just before he left Benchmade back in the 1990's(s). The other is folder made by Phill Hartsfield. The Benchmade and the Hartsfield both can be made scary-sharp. The Hartsfield folder is supposed to be a fighting knife, but the ergonomics of it leave a lot to be desired. I'll be purchasing a "bug-out" knife after Christmas. I'll research it further. Right now I am looking for suggestions on the fighting folder.
Thank you ahead of time for any help anyone can give me.
