BIG Fixed Bladed Knives That You Have

[Outdoors Fanatic]

sorry not to hijack, but gonna buy a big fixed blade, a Strider MT SS GG. good choice, :thumbsup: or :thumbsdow

any suggested alternatives?

edit: trying to decide between an MT, BT or GG, all with SS (spine serrations) and GG (gunners grip). :thinking:

edit 2: yeah going with my first guy reaction the MT SS GG.

Wait for the upcoming RAT Cutlery RC-6...

Or just get a Bark River Knife & Tools Gameskeeper-II, Rogue Bowie or the Big Sky Camp. These are the best deal in the market: you get custom quality at production prices (they are "semi-custom" though).

longest here are my circa 1600 Japanese blades...

It's thick but not really big. Lots of cheaper alternatives, but I suspect you like the style so go for it. You can always sell it if it doesn't fulfill on expectations.

I have about 31 knives (autos, folders, fixed, specials) right now, plus three at my favorite dealer for sale... So, I can't post them all!

But, this is my favorite fixed blade -- and my largest. I'm not a Strider guy, and I considered this as the best alternative as I love Microtech -- the Currahee:

The pouch holds my Victorinox Multitool.

Awesome! Specs?

Nothing that tops anything that has already been posted, but this fighter is a ScrapYard Knives Yard Hook w/ a texture coated, hardened S7 steel blade and a Resiprene C handle. As I would prefer a thicker handle for hard use, this Yard Hook will likely live under my pillow until I can find a SRKW Mini-Mojo w/ hook to actually use .

Congrats adamlau! it's nice to have you in the "Yard" I am Whichdawg over there

I had both, Hook and Mini-Mojo (EH3) and the MM is nicer, better balanced "prettier!"
but that bothered me, I want to use it so I sold it/traded it and kept the Hook which is a great user.

Sorry for dredging up this old thread but I found it earlier and it prompted me to drag out the knives I had collected back in the '80s.

The very first fixed-blade knife I had ever bought, a Kershaw Trooper

Gerber Mark II 20th Anniversary commemorative

Alongside my Gerber Guardian II

My Randall Model 14 and Model 16 with an Al Mar SF/SOG thrown in, too.

The last picture has my 2D MagLite as a size reference.
