One ping, mister mag... should be an interesting thread.
I have a (growing) collection of knives, swords and spears. I dunno... I just can’t help myself.
My current daily carries are a CRKT M21 flip-open, and a Benchmade Carson design assisted opener. I just ~love~ assisted-openers. Have lots. Benchmade really seems to have the idea nailed.
For a fixed blade my current favorites are a Benchmade combat knife, with an alloy handle, and the venerable Cold Steel Trailmaster. The Trailmaster is just a good, all-around very strong knife. It’s a little big for dressing game... for that a smaller, rounder blade is probably better.
