I’m planning on going knife shopping this coming Monday and I have a few ideas in mind. I’m not completely set on this list, but I like something about all of them. I would like to get a folder and a fixed blade in the 170 dollar price range. Opinions wanted and suggestions welcome.

1) BK&T Esee KA-BAR Eskabar fixed blade
Cold Steel Recon 1 folder

2) Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter fixed blade
Kizer Barbosa folder

3) Cold Steel Drop Forged Hunter 52100 steel fixed blade
Buck Marksman folder

I thought about just buying a folder but I really want to get a decent fixed blade as well. I plan on adding the folder to my edc rotation and may get a custom sheath for the fixed and carry it from time to time as well.

I'd pick 3. Cold Steel's drop forged offerings are probably their most interesting on the fixed blade side while the Marksman is one of the most interesting folders out there period. If you get a chance to handle a Marksman, do it. Even if you don't buy one, every modern knife enthusiast should give that knife at least a few flips.
 
If you can hold them in your hand first and see how it feels and if you like it or not.

I wanted a Delica, Dragonfly, and several others but when I found myself at a nice knife shop and held them all I just didn't like the feel of them. So a few hundred dollars saved and I walked out with a Buck 302 which was barely on my radar.
