Looking for a FB similar to Cold Steel SRK, but 3-4" blade, rather than 6".
Anyone have something like that?
 
I'll second what Muzzleup said. That Peacemaker is a great little knife!
 
If I understand it right, you want tough knife made from carbon steel?

Justin Gingrich (rangerknives.com) made RD4 for Theknifecollector I think.

If you want knife of that look (and with plastic handle :) ) you might want to look at Fallkniven F1 (but that one is stainless). Anyway it is considerably tough - laminated vg10 with 420

I had an SRK & it was a bear to sharpen. This guy at work bought it from me & I was happy as heck to sell it! He was a Survival freak & wanted it to dig Foxholes. He told me it did a great job at that! Hey, whatever floats your boat!:thumbup: :thumbup: :barf: :barf:
 
I kind of like a blade with a straight clip, but you don't see too many anymore. They are either drop point like the pics above, or curved like a bowie. The SRK has a straight clip, hence my using that as a model, just shorter.
 
The blade on the Fears Survival Knife (FSK) reminds me a little of the SRK.

The FSK’s 440C blade is about 4 ½” long, .170 thick with a full tang, and removable G10 scales (in a choice of 3 colors) and comes with an custom Kydex sheath from Normark at On Scene Tactical! :thumbup:

My choice would be the Bark River Gameskeeper. It's full tang, A2 steel, convex ground, 4.25" blade and 9.1" overall. My Cold Steel Master Hunter is a very good blade, but not in the same class as the Gameskeeper.
 
NW Ranger definitely more like it. Is anyone aware of anything similar but even shorter, say closer to 4"? I'm looking up the Bark River now....
 
I think maybe Fallkniven S1 by Sweden could fit you

(open dangler), Kydex

You might also want to check out a Benchmade Rant (Clip-point model).

I also agree with the choice above by Alan.Gao. That Fallkniven S1 is hard to beat. Good knife with good steel and this model is also available with a black blade if desired.

The Benchmade Rant comes with a shorter 4" blade and has a 440C steel blade. The 440C blade is good steel but not nearly as good as the Fallkniven's VG-10 laminated steel blade.
 
Check out the smaller Chris Reeve fixed blade knives with clip point blades. They might fit your bill.
 
I'll check out the Rant. All those 5" blades are excellent suggestions, I just need something a tad shorter, more like 4" at most.
 
Well this hasn't been solved yet (owner is contacting seller), it may be just a lemon but check it out
