I'm new to this forum so please be gentle.
I've been searching for a new fixed blade knife and after extensive thought I've come up with some pretty solid requirements for my selection. If anyone has some ideas for makes/models that would fulfill my parameters, please definitely post.
Knife:
Blade - Full tang Half serrated fixed blade w/ clipped point
5 to 5 1/2 inches long & 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide
1/4 to 3/8 inch spine thickness (needs to be very durable)
Handle Material - Some kind of black synthetic (non-slip when wet if possible)
Sheath:
Material - I prefer the black synthetics, but am pretty flexible in this area.
Locks/Clip - Similar to a diver's knife lock system (mandatory)
Pouch/Add. Storage - Room for a flint, mag stick, etc. (mandatory)
Beltloop/TieOff - Horizontal beltloop or convertible tieoff (mandatory)
I've been pulling my hair out trying to get all of this stuff satisfied, as you can see its almost an obsession. I finally broke down and decided it was time to ask the experts, so any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Slick
