I like a fixed blade too. For years, I have carried a Randall #1. Recently I have taken to carrying an origional ColdSteel 7 inch Tanto.

This is what has cought my eye recenty:Model 12 "Raymond Thorp Bowie" -- 13" blade, 1 5/8" wide, of 1/4" stock. Top cutting edge sharpened. 5 1/4" (approximate) leather handle. Brass lugged hilt. Duralumin butt cap. Modeled after design furnished by Raymond W. Thorp, author of The Bowie Knife. Probably the most nearly authentic Bowie type. (Wt. 20-26 oz.)

Defensive offensive blade.

Coldsteel Peace Keeper
Double edged fixed 7" blade
Carbon V steel
Good grip, good reach (internally).
Paid approx: $39 (2nd)

What I actually carry everyday (apart from the handguns)

Coldsteel Recon Tanto Folder
Stainless Steel Axis Lock 4" blade
Modifies Tanto point
Paid: $79 on knifepro.com

The Fixed blade is obviously superior to a folder as a defensive weapon, but I'm not in Sierra Leone and the folder clips comfortably in the pocket.

Regards,
HS/LD

Remember to check your local laws re: knife carry. For example, in my state, no double-edged blades are allowed, no autos, and nothing over 4" sharpened.

Here in Belgium you can't carry a knife that has a blade longer then the thickness of the palm of your hand. Also switchblades and butterfly knives are illegal here.
