forged knife brands

[bnblazer]

I have been looking for my first forged knife and I was wondering if the group could help with brands I should look at.

I would like a simple fined blade 4.5-6" long preferably in a drop point or skinner blade. Nothing really fancy & < &75.

Thanks,
Brian

I just realized I should have been more specific. What I want is a forged non-stainless blade. Carbon steel.

Thanks!

If you will consider a folder, German Eye Brand still uses forged blades. Here is an example:

My recommendation would be to check out the knifemakers' for sale forum. Custom is the best way to go if you are looking for a forged knife.

Randall knives are roughly forged, but they will cost you as much or more than a good custom.

Check out Phillip Patton.

Kellam makes excellent forged carbon scandi ground knives and the prices are very reasonable. Take a look at the Wolverine or the Wolf pack. I know you'll be as impressed as I have been by the quality of these knives.
