If you had $250-300 to spend on a fixed blade what would you get?

Just curious, dont really need suggestions, my list is already too long. Haha
 
Intended use?
 
Then how about this one? Dedicated pikal in differentially hardened 1084. Just finished this an hour ago.

 
To have?... maybe a fallkniven idun

Definitely a nice custom, made to my specs from a maker here. I've sold most of my production fixed blades (that are perfect except for this one or two things), in favor of customs that are everything I want for a similar price
 
Winkler Belt or Field Knife.

Good leuku/puukko piggyback rig.

A Grayman fixed.
 
At that price I'd only consider a custom, likely purchased from a member here in the For Sale By Maker section. And I tend to prefer drop-point hunters with natural handles of some sort. :thumbup:
 
Less than $250 at the moment, but probably a ZT 0180, now that they're available. I've been wanting one for a year, but now I've got other financial obligations. Boooooo.
 
I'm fine with the idea of "just to have" - I've bought a number of knives for that specific reason - but I like my knives to usable, nonetheless.
My favorite just to have knife is a Swamp Rat Ratmandu. I've got several, in various configurations, and I think I've only used one of them.
I thought I had one being made by somebody here, but he never confirmed or responded to my last message; so I'm not sure & I haven't pursued it. (I'll probably make contact this summer to find out)
I'd probably also buy another Bark River Bravo 1-LT just to have...but I'd definitely go with an attractive wood handle rather than micarta, if it wasn't going to be a user.
 
For that price.....I'd probably get a busse/swamprat/scrapyard

I've been very impressed by mine. Have a rodent 6 and a regulator so far and I'm very happy with them.

Customs are also nice, and one of my favorite makers is Gravelle, but sort of the "same style" (but then again, it's my style so ....... win).
