I personaly use a Kbar USMC....but the only advice I can give ya is whatever knife you choose, get one with a full tang handle. sweaty, muddy, bloody, wet hands WILL slide down a blade and cut the crap out of you without a full tang handle..jmo

I had 2 knives made by Bill Middlebrook in Haskell, TX. He makes his own steel, damascus and powdered steel. They hold they're edge unlike anything I've ever seen. I have used them like a hatchet to cut ribs, even skint and quarter a 1500 pound steer and could still shave with it. He will make them however you design them. I designed mine from one end to the other.  |

It depends on handle material, blade material, length... but you can expect to pay from around 250 range to 500 for a custom knife like these. The bottom one in the pic has mammoth ivory scales so that makes it pretty expensive. Powdered steel is insanely expensive. Also, my blades were made with about twice as many layers as normal damascus. Another good knife maker that I've met is this guy (link below). He has very nice high quality knives but a bit more expensive than Bill Middlebrook. http://knivesbythomas.com/index.htmlHere's one with walrus ivory. Very very good steel.  |

By the way, the one with the longer blade is by far my favorite. I have stuck several pigs with it and also use it to fillet fish. It was a little over 300 because of the length and handle. The shorter one was around 250 I think. Bill doesn't make a profit off his knives. It's just a hobby for him.

The edge does not get much use. What I see all the time is a dirty knife go in the sheath. Never do that mud, dirt, blood, and such are horrible on a blade. Always wipe the blade to get most things off. Then ash with water. Creek or ditch water is better than nothing, and then dry it. Even a cheap knife should last many years. But when you lose it a cheap knife hurts less. Just get what you want that is long enough and take care of it. |

This is the one that I like the best so far. I've tried the boar hunter and many others. But this one holds an edge like no other. It's a hen & rooster, stag handle and very easy to sharpen when needed.  |
