Greetings fellow blade addicts.

I'm looking for a high quality knife similar in style to the workhorse series of BH knives, but in a stainless blade, I currently don't have any experience with D2, and it's limitations in the rust/patina/stain area.
For nearly all of my vast collection, stainless has been my choice, (s30v and vg10, both incredible performers, but any variety will do if at least mid-grade) and a light coat of mineral oil once a week will has done fine for maintaining perfect finish on all of my folders/ fixed blades.

Price range, I'd say anywhere from $20- up to and MAYBE exceeding if I must have it (you know how that is) $150..... as well as anywhere in between.

I really like a traditional belt carry sheath, especially one that sits just below the belt, nice leather and more natural handle materials, fiberglassss reinforced ones aren't as appealing to me, but some micarta varieties I enjoy, as well ass other wooden substitutes.

If anyone has any suggestions that fit or come near this criteria I'd appreciate any feedback on the subject!
 
If you want handle selection, take a look a Bark River knives for endless varieties of natural handle materials, and while they come mostly in A2 steel, it has a higher chromium content than many carbon steels and don't patina as much as D2. THeir sheaths are very nice as well. I think their Rising Wolf and Little Creek knives are comparable knife to the BHK Workhorse.

If you want stainless, Fallkniven TreKroner1 (TK1) would work as well.

Your $20-150 price range may be a bit out of whack though. BHK has made their name by being good knives while still staying affordable to most people.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, I have been looking into getting a Fallkniven from time to time! And I've taken a gander at the BRK knives as well.
All I meant with the price range is that anything within that range is fine as long as it's proven it's quality.
Thx again
