Top Fixed Blade List

The folder list is progressing well and can be found here . How about the same thing only in a fixed blade format?


The guidelines are simple......
1) Choose what you like, based on what you think is "best" for quality, durability, etc.
2) No explanations or justifications...just make and model.
3) That you have first hand experience with the knife. Just enter your picks based on what you have or have used.
4) Price is not a consideration.
5) Custom, factory...doesn't matter.


For simplicity sake, try to use this format (please?).....

Utility:
1) Make and model
2) Make and model
etc.....

Hunting/Skinning:
1) Make and model
2) Make and model
etc.....

Neck Knife:
1) Make and model
2) Make and model
etc.....

Tactical/Self Defense:
1) Make and model
2) Make and model
etc.....

Kitchen:
1) Make and model
2) Make and model
etc.....

Let the choosing begin!

A knife that is rarely mentioned on here are the Boker intergrals:
https://www.bokerusa.com/default2.asp
Which are actually a supreme value for the money because you can't get a knife with an integral guard from any maker for less than around $600.
They are shaped to perform many cutting tasks, but aren't too thin too suffer through some moderate abuse.
And they are finished very well. Boker really knows how to buff wood.
 
For Utility,fishing and whittling and allround:

The Fallkniven F1
Features:Laminated VG-10 with Ceracoat 8H coating and with a kydex sheath.

For camping/survival knife:
Fallkniven NL1 Tor Bowie

For:
