I have a few knives that I love and I was wondering if anyone knew of similar looking knives that I can't find.

I love the
Medford Praetorian
Berg Golem
Berg Slim
Spyderco Yojimbo 2


Are there any other knives that "fit the mold" to this type? Preferably something with micarta. Have a ultratech to trade but can't find many listings for the above in the exchange.

Thanks!
 
Medfords and Bergs? First thing that comes to mind:

Kizer Sheepdog XL or more in the direction of Heeter MOW? Just spitballing here...

Love the Heeter MOW maybe a little smoother liners but way way way out of my budget.

The kizer is a good astetic but looks a little too plain? Needs micarta or some something to set it apart.

Both are similar to what I'm looking for maybe I'll look for a special edition kizer xl I'll have to do some research. Thanks!

Didn't say I had good taste just that I like them lol

For comparison I also have an Espada XL and a RAJAH XL

Oh, I think I'm getting your style now. How about this 6.7oz hunk of tacticool for ~$260 (Fox FX-520 Desert Fox Flipper 3.74" N690Co Black Cerakote Blade, Black G10 Handles, Nylon Pouch - 01FX081):

It's black and heavy, and has slots and grooves and weird cutout and a glass breaker, yeah!

As a card carrying Heeter hater I have only one thing to say on this subject: yap yap yap.

Too slim of a profile it's more like a drop point. Look for more of a full wharncliffe sheep's foot or cleaver.

If it.makes you feel better I also carry a dragonfly and want a micarta shaman.
 
The tac butcher is decent not a fan of all metal knives handles but the micarta mix isn't bad. Rmk zombie.killer is interesting.

I'm liking the heeter axe head now lol but that's just dreaming.
 
I was going to say something from Extrema Ratio, but Evilgreg took that away from me. :(

I guess that's what I get for going to bed and sleeping.

Bilbo's suggestion of an Andre de Villiers seems like the right way to go, but it needs a picture. So...

Something from Todd Begg?

I don't even know if he still makes knives, but they seem like they could be in your wheelhouse.

Circling back to Extrema Ratio for a moment, most of their knives are from the "tactical black" collection, and I don't think they ever used CF. So, if you decide to purchase one of their knives, you should really just get the RAO:

How about a custom Emerson? This Super Roadhouse will... well, I don't actually know how much this one costs, but I've seen them with three zeros behind a number.

Once upon a time, Mercworx released a set of folders called "The Three Fates". This is the Lachesis, the largest one.

These are from something like twenty years ago, now, so it would for sure be exclusive. Good luck!

How about a Miller Bros T1?

It seems like they make a "stock" version, but for the price, I bet you can customize just about anything you want on it.

And the pivot pin is very similar to the one on my old $30 Kershaw Needs Work. What the hell?

Oh, yeah. Just in case you were wondering, here's the T1, compared to that Extrema Ratio I mentioned, earlier.

Yeah I'm liking the adv knives especially the battle cleaver. The Todd begg and Emerson have nice handles but the blades aren't cleaver or sheep's foot enough.

I love the Miller Bros. T1 but at that price I could just get a Medford. Looking to trade my ultratech price point lol.

Also like the custom Yojimbo 2s and the damasteel sheepdog I wish they did it in the regular size and not just the mini.

Artisan Apache? Maybe not thick enough?

My first thought was ADV too based on the clever type design. Finding that with micarta handles is going to be challenge.

Yeah they are a little thin but close. I like the sheepdog might have to get custom scales or something. The Yojimbo has them too but they are custom and I was hoping to find a straight trade in the knife exchange..

May just wait and browse until a Berg micarta or something pops up.
