Rob Simonich's Cetan, available as a finished knife or as a kit, is tough to beat, and very popular. Check it out:

Boyer Blades multi carry drop point or tanto is hard to beat; a completed knife, powder coated, guaranteed for life, for $85, shipped to your door. Take a look:

Now I have to go lock the doors and lock and load, because the many, many other good fixed blade makers are going to seek revenge.
Both of the makers I suggested are on the Knife Links page: why not surf and check out the others as well? Hope this helps Walt
