What kind of fixed blade? A big chopper? A little edc knife?

Here are my all time favourites. Not going to include bigger fixed blades cause I only have a few basic ones as I don’t have much use for them.


Spyderco Street Beat for an edc fixed blade. The handle is outstanding. If I was going to pick an all time favourite fixed blade it would he this one. Especially if it came with a sharpened swedge, that would take it to a whole other level.

Neck/ little self defense knife. Brous Silent Soldier Ranger. The grip is genius.

Another little self defense fixed blade I love is the Shivworks Clinch Pick.

The Lon Humphrey Bowie is my favorite fixed because it looks so cool.:)

The RC3 is my favorite for game processing.
The Sprig is my favorite belt carry for processing food and cutting my meat around camp.
The RC6 is my favorite for truck/woods carry. If I could only keep one, this would be it.
The 10.5” bolo is my favorite for wood processing.

My favourite knives are an Enzo Trapper 115 ffg 12c27 which I've not had all that long but is definitely a keeper and main fixed blade and a Victorinox Huntsman which is my EDC pocket knife.
 
The only use that I have for a fixed blade (anymore) is as a smaller, cross-draw knife. I always carry a folder (Slysz Bowie) but seldom use it. The cross-draw is so immediately available to deploy that it has become my "standard."
In picking a favorite fixed, I have purchased and resold "many" of the popular favorites in the range of $150-$400...and have settled on two major models...
1. Bradford Guardian 3" fixed (0.140" spine thickness) in M390, 3V, and Vanadis 4E...
...and
2. Busse Game Warden (2.6" edge)...a very high-priced (but beautifully made) fixed blade in INFI steel.
I have several...0.125" and 0.170" spine thickness, but greatly prefer the thinner one for my casual use.

Ontario SP10 Marine Raider is ultimate to me. Make one with stacked leather washer handle and it would be ultimate ultimate.
 
My ESEE 6 is my most used fixed blade an my favourite.

My Steel Well Roamers are a close second and about 1/4 the price of the ESEE.
 
Deleted pics to save space.

Who can pick just one? These are some favorite large fixed blades, especially the ML Hudson Bay knives and the Mike Mann(Idaho Knife Works) Cumberland, Swamp Fox knivs buthcer, and finally GL Drew Cowboy knife (my name for it).

I do not own but like the Chris Reeve Impofu.

If it was a SHTF moment, I think I'd grab 4 knives at least. 2 folders, a Chris Reeve Green Beret, and an ESEE Junglas.
