What fixed blade do you rely on?
FarmerRick:
I have a USN MKII(I think ???) knife that was given to me by my uncle when I was about 12 or so. I used to beat the heck out of it, used it as a hatchet, hammer, pry-bar, spear, you name it - I abused it terribly.
I just found it in a box the last time we moved and put a decent edge back on it and it now stays in my BOB.
What is your "go-to" fixed blade knife?

I don't own one (yet). I have thought about the Glock field knife. Just cuz it 's cheap, and I wouldn't worry about breaking it, yet it gets a decent review

About 20 years or so ago I bought into the Cold Steel hype and got myself a Master Hunter with the Carbon V blade. It's actually a pretty good knife. Holds an edge and is durable. The rubber grip keeps it from getting slippery when disemboweling large omnivores.
For day to day use I picked up a knife just like this one, made by Jeff White. For the price it can't be beat. http://cgi.ebay.com/JEFF-WHITE-Custom-Knife-1600-1800sFrench-Trade-4_W0QQitemZ230397370751QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a4c0e17f#ht_518wt_1165

Eldest's knife and hatchet next to mine.....
....my knife I found in a drawer at my grandparents after I left mine at home...... it took awhile to put an edge on it, but it keeps it well....... I have no idea where it came from originally, or how old it might be...... It says "Utica Sportsman U.S.A.
I've fixed the handle a couple of times, and the back of the knife is starting to show the effects of various hatchets and hammers (my boot, one year!) driving it through deer pelvis bones......

I have several SOG Seal pups, if the Navy Seals endorse a knife, it's got to be a good one, and I've had nothing but good performance out of them, I also have a Buck Alpha that I also use in field dressing... The best knife I ever had was a Lakota Finwing, but I lost it when I moved back home to Nebraska, I still regret losing that knife...
