Heavy duty fixed blade

If you can go up to $300, look no further than here. You just can't go wrong with Busse!

 

[Ankerson]

Busse no doubt.

Becker BK-7 or BK-9, I'd also suggest adding the micarta scales and it'd still be well under your price limit.

First I would say a Busse, after that look at the Scrapyard Dogfather.

$287 would definately go for budget... however $287+30% of its price goes well beyond my limit. I can get little used Scrapyard Dog father LE affordable. I have to consider also the toll limit. After that I have to pay 30% of items value as toll charges. Sucks.

And as Scrapyard is same family with Busse, the Dog father is quite safe choice.

RAT RC-5
Becker/KaBar BK2, 7, 9
Just about anything from Busse, Scrapyard, Swamp Rat

The RC-5 is a burly fun beast

 

[GrinderMcgee]

Bark River Bravo or Nick Allen Sierra Scout or Woodsman.

It's hard to beat the Sarsquatch for a mid sized chopper. It's not as thick and heavy
as the likes of the ASH-1 so carries well but still has a good bit of bite in it :thumbup:

Get the Dogfather. The LE Scrappies are really nice! :thumbup:
