Looking for Fixed Blade knife for long term....any suggestions?

Skip that serrated top edge (they tend to be rather useless) and get a Busse, Swamp Rat or Strider.

If you are absolutely determined to get a knife with spine serrations, check out Chris Reeve's hollow handle knife offerings.

Those 4 pretty much cover it and in pretty much that order. These are all knives that will stand up to years of abuse, Busse encourages abuse, his knives are that tough. Same deal with Swamp Rat (a sister company of Busse with the same no BS warranty). I'd pretty much skip the serrations also. Get a SAK or Multi Tool with a saw.

I know I'm missing some, but this is about the top of the heap for hard use knives.

MelancholyMutt,
I agree with you that Bob's knives are not the toughest and I think that Bob would also agree with you. While not the toughest they are certainly tough enough and then you have to consider cutting ability. Bob's knives defininely cut really, really well.

I have one of Bob's knives and love it dearly, but would not consider taking it into the field without pairing it with a good axe first...
 
I don't want to sound ignorant but when you refer to Strider knife, you are referring about the company right?
