Cold Steel Recon Tanto. Sorry, no pics of mine.
Google, or Bing, or Duck Duck Go some Cold Steel Recon Tanto torture test videos. This thing is nearly indestructible. |

Quote HistoryI have one. Fit and finish was much better than I expected. The entire knife looks to be made by CNC, so they're perfect like a Chris Reeve. C4 kydex sheaths are top notch too. Interchangeable scales are a cool feature and they're well made too. All around a great deal even considering the premium price. Nice people to deal with too, always helpful and pleasant. O1 steel is a feature for me, it might not be for someone who wants boutique stainless steel. O1 is tough, easy to sharpen, and it takes an extremely fine edge. That's a plus for me, but like I said, for some it's not. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Money no object yet people are naming cheap imports like Cold Steel and SOG? Randalls are pretty and well made but there modern metallurgy has produced steels that are superior in every way to what they've been using since the 1970s. For a general purpose combat knife I'd probably choose something like the Sibert Scout. http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b489/trbrst/7107fee7b1b5630e8392ee5453111063_zpsfjzeymdl.jpg That's a nice looking knife. The website doesn't mentioned which steel is used to make the blade. ETA - Nevermind, I found it on another page: Crucible Steels premium CPM S30V stainless is used exclusively. Knives are professionally heat treated by MET-TEK with a triple temper and cryogenic soak to a Rockwell hardness of 59-60. S30V exhibits better edge retention then ATS-34 or D-2, while still retaining a higher degree of toughness. |

*shrug* I like bayonets and bowie knifes for fighting / combat, not that I have ever been in a knife fight, nor do I want to be, but seeing as the Bowie was born of knife fighting it seems to be a logical way to go. I don't own a bowie, I do own some U.S. Army bayonets, I think i'll soon buy a Glock straight blade (can't remember the nomenclature off the top of my head) and BK9. BK9 is a heck of a knife for the money.
Not into blades enough to care about the super duper special custom whiz bang stuff. Though I do plan to make my own before to long using a piece of a huge elk shed as a handle, not sure if I want to do a hidden tang or full tang design with it yet, but I think I will make the blade bowie-ish. And maybe make a 2nd more as a skinning knife. I will likely value them over the others as it's something I made. Not sure what steel I want to use yet. Has the OP considered making his own custom blade? So long as you have a good bench grinder, a few files, sand paper etc. you can make something decent, you don't need a torch or forge and BFH. |

Requirements for a good fixed blade-
Must be FIXED blade. Not some broken blade Under 4 inchs blade length. 4 inches is plenty to hit vitals while not being absurdly long. Longer the blade, easier to strip from your hands. No serrations. Serrations gets caught in clothing very easily. You want a blade that can move easily in and out of many clothing options. Handle must have orientation for finger placement. You may have to fight in the dark. Having a groove to indicate where your fingers should be based on edge orientation. Enlarged pummel for easier draw. Preferably a curved design. Correct choil placement. Spearpoint design. Blades just as the Izula Esee aren't good for fighting. Why? No spear point for penetration. When fighting with a blade, you want to concentrate on "entries." Not slashes. The Romans proved stabbing was far deadlier than slashing. Grind- I like convex or flat grind. Easy to sharpen both of these grinds on multiple mediums. Lastly...A GOOD SHEATH. No one talks about a sheaths for some odd reason. It's literally half the battle. Take classes! Sayoc, Pekiti, etc. There are a lot more wackos teaching blade work than in the firearms industry. Be careful who you learn from! To the OP, it would be wise to take advice from FMA practitioners. Folks who have a background in blade arts. What blades I do like. Gerber Guardian, Cold Steel Secret Edge, Rat Blade from Head Hunter blades of Guro Harley, any Joe Watson Blade. When folks post their favorite blades, try asking why they like it. It's very telling if they have good answers or not. |

After having been overseas and running the gamut of large knives to small knives, fixed blades and folders. In my experience the perfect combo is a good folding knife with around a 3" blade and a fixed blade with a good steel around 8-9" overall with around a 3-4" blade. Having been making my own knives for a few years now one of my latest knives is what I consider a perfect EDC/COMBAT/SAR/HUNTING/ANYTHING knife. Not really a plug just showing that my tastes have evolved with experience into a small simple fixed blade.
I also think the Strider DB looks like a very useful and simple knife. Godrilla47 also makes one that I would consider a great all around knife, I think its the 5to5 model. Here is the Reaper (my EDC knife, and combat blade)

I guess I cringe at the prices, but "feel" my comfort zone is fixed blade less than $150 for the mainliners (Cold Steel, ESEE, etc).
On the "high end" I guess I would go $200-$400 but become very wary at what I am getting at for those prices; I am still leaning towards Treeman but now Cold Steel is using O1 "high carbon" steel too. The Busse Gemini Light Brigade is $800-1000, which seems quite a bit up there (did this happen due to the Walking Dopes anti-gun Daryl?) Meh, I will keep paying attention here

Wanted one but they were unobtainable at the time. So I took the issue knife 
Now I have one. And truthfully it won't do anything the issue knife wouldn't do. But it does do it with much more style. |
