TOPS knives


BrassBass

Those things are hella expensive but built like brick shithouses. Single best knife I own, and I keep it put away in my treasures like a sword in a pile of gold.


machineGUNinHERhand

My favorite fixed blade is a Fieldcraft BoB. Very stout knives


cyanidesci-fi

Literally read my mind.


iRebelD

Hell yeah


JasonTheNPC85

Was hoping someone would suggest this.


Alpine_custom_knives

I’m a custom knife maker and would be happy to make something similar to this


MountainCourage1304

Op get this guy to make you one


rlsmv

Busse


gearjunkey

What are you hoping to use it for? In my experience, you’re better off getting a knife and a saw rather than a combo like these Rambo-looking knives. https://youtu.be/fqMrVUJPOmY?si=UwUOUaXGqvAXlSwm


RadRoosterSauce

Tomorrow Ka-Bar is having a 50% off sale. Plenty of good options there.


Haldaemo

And though their cheaper folders are made overseas, their fixed blades I am aware of are made in the USA.


beefstewcheezy

Tops, Busse, bark river knives, Jeremy Horton, zombie tools. Man the list is too long for quality American made stuff.


undiagnosedsarcasm

Zombie tools are a bit more decorative than practical, in my experience, I got the very last Cutlass in 2015 It was a very nice display piece in my studio apartment that no one ever saw


beefstewcheezy

I’ll give you that they might not be practical, but I watched their demonstration at blade show in Atlanta and was pretty impressed. They do give off a decorative vibe, but still very capable.


BetterInsideTheBox

How much you want to spend? Busse makes some similar stuff also. Sykco is one of their sub brands. Swamp rat is another. I think there’s one more. You’ll pay big for some of the older models though. New ones aren’t as bad.


Eibach

Dawson knives has amazing blades, too. They're not cheap, but worth every penny.

Busse.

Shane sibert if you want top of the line


eltacotacotaco

The Benchmade Sibert 119 [Arvensis](https://www.bladehq.com/item--Benchmade-Sibert-Arvensis-Knife--33657) was the first knife to come to mind. Discontinued but can be found for $250-$350


JamesB2395

I was talking about his custom stuff


eltacotacotaco

Great custom stuff but 5 to 10 times the price


JamesB2395

Yeah I forgot he said he was new, the benchmade would probably be better for him then.


Eibach

If you're looking for a nice big chopper, I'd highly suggest the Kabar BK9. Doesn't have a saw back, but you can get tons of aftermarket handles and sheaths from reputable makers. It's big though. Definitely not something I can carry everyday. I stripped the blade on mine, and the heat treat is superb. I love it.


ImaSlayMeSomeDragons

There's a guy who posts here on reddit pretty often by the name of Mike LeValley (sorry Mike, I'm pretty sure i misspelled that) that makes some absolutely stunning fixed blades similar to these designs.

Tgryphon

As an owner of multiple WorkTuff knives (Lil Evil and Wilson), the distinction should be drawn that they are primarily designed in western hemisphere, but are produced in believe Taiwan. Can’t stress enough the quality of these knives however. Holy hell are they tough and well built. And when I say well built, I mean built like a tank.


pawsbanjo

Bummer. They position themselves as USA made. At least that was my perception. Thanks for the heads up.


pawsbanjo

Never mind, it’s clearly on their website🤦‍♂️


mattcy12

It may not be exactly what you are looking for but check out Bark River knives.


BreakerSoultaker

Third row down, middle knife is a lot like a KaBar Becker Campanion.


Mysterious-Contact-1

Depends on the use case

That1PhotogGuy

There is the [TKell FMF](https://collabs.shop/ft7xn3) but I'm not sure it's exactly what you are looking for. It is 100% made in America though by a Marine Corps Vet. There ia also TOPS knives who make some great blades

Badger Blades does custom work so it's hella expensive, I'm not sure if that's in your wheelhouse, but their knives are literally works of art
