I am looking for a quality fixed blade knife that is not over 80 dollars. I want the blade to be between 4 and 6 inches. Right now I am looking at the Gerber Gator, but I am open to suggestions.
 
For the last several weeks I have been edc-ing an Benchmade/HK 14100. Been a great little knife and should run you about 60 bucks...maybe a few bucks more.

You have plenty of choices in that size and price range.

That Benchmade H&K Snody above has been on my wish list for too long!

Other good ones to check out are the Benchmade CSKII and the Benchmade Rant.
 
Check out bucks offerings, theyve got some pretty spiffy blades within your parameters(sp). Id also check out ontario and becker knives.
 
The answer should vary depending on what you will use the knife for -- e.g. EDC, utility, hunting, bushcraft, kitchen duty/food prep, etc. So, what will you use the knife for?
 
Lol - I just gave this answer (and used this pic) in another thread.. Becker BK2.

* a quality fixed blade knife: CHECK
* that is not over 80 dollars: CHECK (closer to $50)
* I want the blade to be between 4 and 6 inches: CHECK

Add to that the outstanding KaBar lifetime warranty and the ability to field dress Buicks ... BK2 is your knife.

+1 I have both CSKII and the Rant, but not the H&K Snody yet! Have to do something about that some day soon!

+1 I have both CSKII and the Rant (the old one, thin blade), but not the H&K Snody yet! Have to do something about that some day soon!

Not over $80 guys. That knocks ESEE out of the running. The Gator should be a fine knife. I'm figuring that you are talking about the Bell & Carlson series with S30V blades? Cabela's has them on sale right now, so it's even better.

Kabar/Becker has a lot of choices for under $80.

It would help to know what you plan on doing with it.
 
I'd get a benchmade fixed griptillian before a Gator. I have the fixed Gator and it's just Ok. I like my folding griptillian better. That HK is nice too.
 
ranger shiv can be had in paracord for about $45, with a custom kydex sheath $69, and a micarta scaled version is $54. Check out Chestnut Ridge Knife Shop
 
The fixed Gator is a good knife. Its pretty robust too, so you wont go wrong with it. Also take a look at Becker, theyve got some solid knives too.
 
For hunting and lighter camp work, I have had good performance from the Fixed Gator
