@Crag the Brewer makes some of the best performing knives I’ve had the opportunity to use. @Wolverine666 - if you like this style of knife I’d try one. Slicing machines that tolerate a beating.

Haha ...Best endorsement, I can't wait to add More to your group!

@jjsmith makes a damn good knife as well. This particular camp knife is a personal favorite.. everything you need and nothing you don’t.

CPK EDC and Cudeman Akeley have been my favourite fixed blades, edge definitely goes to CPK.

Dollar for dollar, it is very hard to beat a ESEE.

OP: Anything you like ? (3 rough size categories)

(Not for sale, just to give visuals)

That’s a Carl Colson “Windriver” in CPM154, 4” blade.

Maybe a little out of your budget, but we have several makers that make similar ones within your budget.

Mr Colson makes some of the finest blades I've seen......Hell of a pile of steel there R.

Thank you. Glacier National Park

Have you and your truck recovered from the going to the sun road FUN...........T hat little 20 inch wall won't stop anything from rolling off that road and A thousand plus feet due south.........Beautiful place

Cool thread and good discussion. I also recommend checking out the knife makers on the exchange.

Yes. They had a rough time replacing the drivers window. They caught the guy with the tow mirrors that hit us and left the scene.

Sometimes I don’t realize I am digging myself deeper. The phrase worker smarter not harder is more like work harder not smarter for me.

If you can find one, there is no better outdoor fixed blade than the Spyderco Phil Wilson South Fork. It’s got Awesome S90V steel ands comes in at 9.5”. Full tang and around $400. Perfect.

I've found that happening often enough but I do get lucky once in a blue moon........

I'm 61 and usually learn after a couple of hits with a 2x4. Wisdom comes from doing stupid stuff and surviving.

On that road it’s kind of hard to escape. We had a video of the whole thing.

I was about to suggest these two as well. I have both and it would be difficult to choose between the two.

Also, I just received my TF24 from Montana Knife Company. It's slightly more than what you mentioned, but what a perfect edc knife. They're almost sold out. Only the black and tan is available so you would have to order soon

How do you like your TF24? Does the sheath wobble because of the balance and the clip point?

 

[bdmicarta]

It’s hidden tang.

They are good knives, and I recommend either Magnacut or 3V (nice blade shape on that one). The only thing I don’t like about the guard is that it’s difficult to use on a cutting board.

It's interesting to see that the tang has a curved transition into the blade, even if it had to be necked down slightly to do that, in order to reduce the stress concentration at that location.
