    Fällkniven is my choice for fixed blades. Designed in Sweden. They make what are considered some of the finest survival knives in the world. Here are our A1 and S1. The S1 "Forest Knife" is great for general purpose camping, light survival - it is almost perfect. A1 heavier, larger, better chopper but not as good for smaller chores in camp. The F1 Pilot Knife is well known as a superior "small" survival knife. They use VG10 steel for the big blades, mixed in Japan. They have NICE folding knives as well.

    MicroTech. How big a knife you want to carry, pricey, but hand made here in the USA. Most won't reckonize the name, cause the're used to mass produced crap. Do your self a favor and do a quick search.

    Cold Steel used to make some good knives, years ago. But the last ones I've handled, kinda reeked of cheese.

    Ditto on the CRKT I own one for every day all purpose use. Anything from opening my beer, to .... well shit, I do everything I deem safe with that small of a blade. If I need a bigger one, I have two behind the back seat, and one's a gerber :D I love it.


    Although, for everyday, the Tanto tip is great imho.

    If you like the Kershaw Blur, check out the Fällkniven "Folding Hunter" (model FH9).

    A benchmade spring assist knife. The microtechs are badass as well, but the benchmade steel is just as good. With the benchmade sharpened, I can cut through 5/8 dacron rope in one pass!

    My Benchmade is one of the best knives I've ever used. Mine gets used daily for everything from cutting rope, string, cardboard, etc. It even acts as my steak knive from time to time.:)

    Great construction, solid hefty handlel too. Mine has been dropped, thrown, and pounded through kindling. Never fails!

    GREAT KNIFE!

    I own a few Protech autos as well, although I've never really "used" one of them, they are built like a tank, solid. You better have a hold/grip on it when you fire that plunger, they will jump out of your hand.

    First of all, go to Gerber's website, and see what they will do for you in repairing your knife. Even if its out of warranty, most companies will repair or replace for a low flat fee. I like SOG knives and own 2. Snap On Tools is now selling Columbia and Kershaw. If you have a Columbia, they swap it out no questions just like their tools, Kershaw has promised them a 2 week turn around on warranty. BTW Denton is cool, I lived there in the early 70's off Sam Bass Blvd. Good luck!
