So my knowledge of who is good, or not, is limited. I might also think about that Spyderco Fred Perrin short fixed-blade knife.īTW please take note that I haven't held any of the knives that I just named Taking my words with a pinch of salt is well-advised.Īlso, take note that, although I have made a custom knife makers list, I currently have only two custom-made knives. I hear great things about these blades, especially those from Spyderco. Personnaly, if I needed a big combat folder, I'd go with a Spyderco Military or Police, or one of Cold Steel 4-5'' folders. They are probably made to look cool and tough, and to be abused just for the heck of it. Large, often overbuilt and often too expensive. IMO, they seem to be to knives what Cold Steel swords are to. Strider was told to gt*o of bladeforums many years ago because of his conduct overthere.īeside that, I think their knife don't look great and they seem quite expensive for what they are. I don't know much about the Strider controversies.

Battle Mistress looks ridiculous but some models are freaking awesome check all their models out (you'll find most are discontinued but they're always surfacing on the busses sales subforums (. The weight on the fallkniven militaries are very very good for their blade lengths and that VG10 laminated steel even had Noss stumped for a bit.ĭon't really know much about custom makers - better ask Se'b for thatĮdit: gawd, I can't believe I forgot Busses, Scrapyards, and swamp rats. They've got a lot to choose from, and I wouldn't say no to a Thor, Njord and others. How about some Fallknivens? I got an S1.and wow. I don't like the CR fixed combats mostly because of serrations ~ may be your thing 25' is again too thick - makes for a good survival knife. The 4's cool too (handled that one) I have an ESEE 5.

Spartan knives are pretty optimized - you get the military discount like the Ares and Nyx Horkos looks cool (don't think it'll work as well in combat)

I think it's a bit problem like the notch on the buck hoodlum.just WHY? far too deep and located where no one wants it

And that firesteel notch or whatever.wtf especially on the Oberman. Ugh.no way at least not for their advertized tactical.25' thick fixed blades? Man that's a bit too thick.
