The BladeForums.com 2024 Traditional Knife is ready to order! See this thread for details:
https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/bladeforums-2024-traditional-knife.2003187/
Price is $300 $250 ea (shipped within CONUS). If you live outside the US, I will contact you after your order for extra shipping charges.
Order here: https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/ - Order as many as you like, we have plenty.
Number 1: Al Mar SERE 2000. Anything else is less. Brutally strong, superb VG10 steel, top ergonomics. If cast adrift on a desert island, this is the one I'd want in my pocket.
Equal second:
Benchmade 710. Mine's the HSSR (semi-serrated, M2 steel). Elegant, purposeful, secure.
Spyderco Military in S30V. Debatably the best knife steel available, big yet light, punches far above its weight.
