Production Fixed Blade: 5"-7" What would you get?

[flatgrinder]

Busse or Swamp Rat.

 

[destroythealter]

IMO Busse or Ranger.

 

[mmmotorcycle]

Ranger knives then Busse knives. Mr. Busse could live without my funds .

 

[cjpgeyer]

Busse, Swamp Rat, Scrapyard, CRK...If money is no object, Busse custom or CRK:thumbup:

 

[samhain73]

Ranger RD-7

 

[BRASMAN]

If I purchased a new fixed bladeit would be a Falkniven A1 or a Ranger.

 

[T.K.C.]

I would get a Fehrman, Busse or Ranger knives, as far as production knives go. A Fehrman is next on my list of FB's to buy.

 

[silenthunterstudios]

Busse, Swamp Rat, Bark River, Ranger, Ontario

 

[Guyon]

Busse SFNO for me please.

7" and cool.

 

[OldPhysics]

Let's keep it simple.

Busse: HellRazor, SH1, HOGFSH, SFNO, maybe also HHFSH.

Why bother with anything else? [Although SwampRat would also be fine...]

 

[wetdog1911]

Don't hold back, barrabas74....
(yes, I think Busse would count)



OK...perhaps a broad question....let's narrow it down to your "Top Ten" at most. :thumbup:


criteria:

1 - has to be a serious user. you would bet your life on it.
2 - cost is not an issue
3 - tactical, survival, military....anything that fits that bill
4 - not merely a beater. higher quality stuff preferred (see #2)

I can say 2, both Busse. An older Straight Handle Badger Attack which I EDC and a SHSH, which gets used but not as often.

I own more Busse's than that, but that's my top 5" and 7" even over the newer Busse's that cost considerably less (sorta).

What's out there in the 5-7" blade range for production fixed blades?

If money were no object...what would you get?

Hmm, I think SOG has something for you (alright it's 0.5" longer than you specified, but who cares ) :thumbup:

 

[XMP]

I'd be perfectly happy with an Ontario RAT 5 or 7, a Ranger RD6 or 7, a Scrapyard Dumpster Mutt or a Swamp Rat RatManDu.

BUT what I'd pick given the option to would be a Busse. The BATAC is a great nice, but my personal favorite is the SFNO.

 

[Bob W]

Bark River Mountaineer. The blade length was a little less than your range, but it sure felt like a "full sized" knife. Full tang, high-end steel, beautiful amboynia burl handles, and it felt great to hold.

[fudo]

Fallkniven A2 Expeditionary knife.....(drool)
Fallkniven A1

+1.........

 

[Ben Dover]

Something by Bob Dozier or Bark River.

Braggin' rights as well as practically.

 

[JCavSD]

Fallkniven A1. Couldn't be happier with it.

 

[barny]

1. Busse SNFO
2. Another Fallkniven S1
3. Bark River Bravo-1
4.Swamp Rat M6
5.Scrapyard Yard Hook

I have to agree with Rob.
Busse SHSH & SHBA.

Busse or Fehrman Knives, both very similar can't go wrong either way, check up on the subtle differences in geometry.
