i may get flamed for this but a decent knife is not complicated or difficult to make. for $300-$500 a knife should be...well a busse. a .25" thick saber ground tanto of s30v isn't gonna cut jack squat better than a .08" thick scandi ground clip point in 12c27. paracord wrapped handles do not feel or function better than molded plastic. did i just say a $10 mora is a better knife than a strider costing 40x? i'm gonna paracord wrap a mora and charge $300. it'll be huge. ![[Linked Image from eden.rutgers.edu]](http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~mghattas/feb21/P1000501.JPG) Actually it can be complicated depending upon what its designed for. I won't Flame you I have and use a mora. Good knife

oh, so you'll buy one? the stainless airforce rescue model is on the left, bright orange for security, medic, and evac units. i designed it based on my time in the desert sands of africa. my first night there i saw combat.
that's true. it's also miseleading. i was in egypt visiting family and the night we got off the plane there was a massive fist fight in the street. fifteen, maybe twenty guys. probably fighting over muhammad's favor in paradise.

If you don't mind doing a little finishing, the Windlass Bowies are quite nice for the price. The steel is pretty good. They are made in India, though.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

so far my favorite blade format is the swiss army. put a super steel or tool steel in a pioneer and i would flip out. gimme one in d2 or 1095. 13c26 if it must be stainless. vg-10 sounds good too. oh how sweet it would be.
