-Busses, mainly because I have very little use for a fixed blade in my lifestyle. It would most likely sit around my apartment.
-Darrel Ralph Madd Maxx. I'm just starting to get into customs, but the $600+ range is just a little too high for me at the moment. That and they're pretty hard to find.
-William Henry (exotic handles or damascus blades). They're very nice, but they're in the price range of customs that are very nice also.
-Spyderco Military in CF. They're cheaper than other knives that I'm currently buying, but because I'm shelling out so much dough, higher end Spydercos go out of my budget for production knives. For productions, I need to stay under $70-$80 in order to be able to afford the grail knives that I'm working on getting.
