I'm looking for a.daily carry fixed blade that excels at slicing, 4-5 inch blade, full size scales which have a fairly large diameter and is fairly light weight. Budget (used) is $100 tops. Am I being unrealistic?
Thanks for all ideas.

If you're not in a super hurry I can make you a Kagitsume in 15N20 within the next few months.

You can't beat David Mary, but while you wait for that, if you have access to an angle grinder you could get a kitchen knife like a 6" victorinox curved skinning knife, cut it down to a 4.5" Wharncliffe shape, and buy a cheap sheath. Or even cheaper, get an old hickory knife & do the same. They will slice!

I might be keen for one of those.

For a super cheap version. The le hawk would come closest.

If you'd ever played chess with me you woudn't say that.

A brilliant idea!
