Recommend an overall high use/abuse fixed blade

[thunderbat]

Used for field, camp, hunt, survival...one that can take abuse and hold up. Nothing quite as big as a bowie or combat (have M9's that I cant bring myself to abuse). Any suggestions?

Dear Thunderbat,

KBar- Ka Bar - KaBar. Proven, reasonably priced and you can even find used ones that still have a lifetime of use in them.

Best Regards,
