what's the sturdiest fixed blade design?

It is a good copy of it and from Noss tests, it is also tougher. But since CS basically popularized the American tanto, or Western tanto, which has two separate ground edges and a tip that comes up at an angle, they probably figure all is fair.
 
Bark river bravo 1 in 3V, I think the blade is.22 think with a convex grind. I have one and they're nice, I don't think it would be very easy to brake. Busse has a good reputation but I've never owned any.
 
I've been thinking about the original question from a physics/mechanics standpoint. The strongest theoretical fixed blade design would be a full-tang spear point with fullers, and without any corners or sharp edges in the outline to create stress concentration nodes.

A long, narrow 'shield' shape with only smooth (and shallow) curves for the handle ergonomics.

I think he is trying to stay under $100. Not sure if the Bravo fits the bill. Busse certainly does not, but that would be the top of sturdy for sure.

This is pretty much the sturdiest. It's just really bad at doing much besides crushing things.

Something like an ESEE-5 would be a good "overbuilt" woods blade, though, on a serious note. :)
 
The simple answer

Busse...

steel INFI

The rest is all personal preference.....

Unless you are dead set on breaking it your just not going to.... Take it out it will bring you home....
