Fixed fighter--------suggestions???

Nostimos... listen matey... you have another option if you're in love with the Attack and are willing to go to around the 450 mark. I sent you a message... contact AdamVigil in here... he'll fix you up with a Super Attack 14... it's super for no other reason than because I made the template for it. :D LOL!!!

I'll probably my AV14 in a couple weeks.
 
And btw... the one you see Adam working on is a FULL depth mortise tang... if you want a FULL tang instead... just say so, I can forward a FT version template to Adam for you in no time.

Nostimos,

If I were to go for a fighter/utility knife for hard use without outlaying too much for it, something like this would be near the top of my list:

I've been dying to get one of those since I saw the 3V run, but I'd really like more of a 1-6 or 1-5 in stainless with a stacked natural micarta handle on a very large through tang to mimic stacked leather. With all the fittings blued. No one makes it. :(

I cannot wait to see this one Matt as I've been lusting for a 14 lately. A 14 in 3v with the right heat treat would be the Cat's Meow so to speak. :thumbup:

Hoffner Hand Spear. Also short enough not offend many state knife laws. Tough and reasonably priced, blade steel isn't exotic but a knife fight isn't a swordfight.
 
For $500, you have a LOT of choices in custom blades. If you so desired, you could get a damascus knife with steel made by a maker who does NOT live in Pakistan......like me ;)
 
I'm gonna wait and see the custom that CM is having made and Coke drew up. :thumbup:

But I definitely see a blackjack in my future. I realize now they're probably made by BRK so quality is not an issue.
I did a quick search and came across one in the CPM3v and ivory micarta handle that caught my eye.
I'm a sucker for the old Westinghouse ivory micarta look.
At their (250ish) prices I can keep the BRK bravo I have, enjoy/use the blackjack and get a REAL Randall that catches my eye down the road at Clinton's for a decent price as a collectible for my safe queens. ;)

I see myself adding larger fix blade representation to my overall collection. :D
 
A HARD use fighter/survival knife is what you want.

For a pure fighting knife, nothing beats a dagger. The Cold Steel Tai Pan in 3V is a fine example and has a point that's beefier than a lot of single edge knives.
 
I think one of the best fighting designs if we are looking at a larger fixed blade is a bowie with a sharpened swedge. This allows for a powerful back cut. Back cutting with a bowie is part of what makes the design so versitile.

There are so many good designs. It all depends how you want to fight.
 
Check out Blackjack knives - USA made quality knives with A-2 steel blades. They run $200-$300 bucks, depending on handle material.

Like firearms, useless if you don't have it on you. Plan on carrying that Randall around?
