So to kick off the discussions, what would you recommend for a fixed blade Knife that is very tough yet very affordable. 

I am very happy with a Benchmade Griptilian D2 combo blade for EDC, but I know nothing about the fixed blades.

thanks for starting this dan and i like the title "the cutting edge".  thats cool i think.  anyways, im a total noob at knives and i know there's a lot of people who use and collect knives.

as for knives, i do not own any good ones.  i have a 8" survival knife, a cheap ass machete and a small gut hook for hunting purposes.

im looking for a folder knife.  (read my post in the folding blade sectio)n.

....... I have made several knives out of 10" mill files and either deer antler or brass and wood handles.... they don't get more affordable than that.  If I ever figure out how to take pics and put them up.....

The Right to Keep and BEAR Arms is enshrined explicitly in both our State and Federal Constitutions, yet most of us are afraid to actually excercise that Right, for very good reason: there is a good chance of being arrested........ and  THAT is a damned shame.  III.

I carry a pocket-clip folder, but wanted a light, flat neck knife as backup or when not wearing jeans.

So far, split decision between Becker Necker or CRKT Triumph. Probably be the first of either I come across in a store.
