Looks like a good site, Faust.

Do you have any recommendations for a good fixed-blade knife (manufacturer or particular model)? Thanks.

Angler,

[QUOTE]Do you have any recommendations for a good fixed-blade knife[/QUOTE]

I have a number of cheap fixed-blade knives and bayonets. I have been thinking about a more expensive good quality knife. I am not sure about that I have been think about getting one of those "U.S.M.C. Fighting Knife."

The price seems a bit high. But I am still thinking about it. [QUOTE]Camillus® U.S.M.C. Marine Combat™ $43.99

If you want something cheap, you could try this. I have some of their cheap knives they are not great but they are not bad and the price is right.

I got a similar one of those from Smokey Mountain Knife Works maybe 8 years ago or so (pre-internet mail order catalog). I forget the price but it was less expensive since I didn't get the one with leather. Mine came with a nylon sheath.
