I have a custom broken back Seax made from a reclaimed barn find file. The blade is a full 12" and it's 5/16" thick. Handle is walnut IIRC. I have cut open watermelon but it's so pretty I don't want to use it! Sharper than most any knife I own.

Custom Falcata made for me by Mario at MLL Knives back in 2012. Absolutely phenomenal knife.

That picture is like pouring salt in a wound for someone like me. I would love to own both of those knives.

My apologies! Keep an eye on the exchange, because 4.7s pop up there every now and then.

I only use a fixed blade when hunting, hiking, or camping so it's all about utility. You can find a Bark River Bravo 1 with A2 steel for well under $200, it's tough to beat. I also found the traditional Ka-Bar USMC knife with 1095 a great field knife (maybe nostalgia plays a part in this, but it was a breeze to keep sharp and took a beating). For me, the expensive designer steels are great on pocket knives, but in the field I like really hard tool steel like A2, toss in a no nonsense micarta or G-10 handle, lanyard hole and I'm good to go.

You can get these for like $160 on the Internet:

I second that , a2 is a great all around steel for hard use 👍👍 also what a near perfect design !

How slick are the handles in use on that Bravo? Or I guess any of bark river's polished micarta. I've never used one of their knives.

Pretty slick in my experience. Slick enough that I bead-blasted my gunny hunter's scales, which did make a world of difference, although it's uglier than sin now.
