Fixed Blade Knife Designs

Kizer Salient G-10 Fixed Blade Knife

Blades•Raidops CQC Reaper Karambit Knife

Love it or hate it, Karambits are here to stay. I am not a fan; it’s not my style (and all my experiences were with fixed blade ’conventional’ knives). I don’t know the style but this piece looks menacing and it is very often the menace of the blade that you want to emphasize, as you don’t really want that fight. (Do you?) I find this knife very close in design to Quartermasters‘ karambit design crossed with their Thomas Magnum fixed blade...

Blades•Massdrop x Bradford Guardian 3.5 Fixed Blade Knives

Hey everyone, We are pleased to launch our first collaboration for a fixed blade knife with Bradford USA. Their production line Guardian 3 and 4 models have been popular with members, and Brad Larkin has been a supporter of the Massdrop community for a number of years. When we approached Brad about a collaboration on the 3.5, he was eager to get started and has been great to work with. We love that Brad has used feedback from his customers...

Massdrop x Bradford Guardian 3.5 Fixed Blade Knives

Blades•KA-BAR BK7 Becker Combat Utility Knife

And I never referenced "law," nor did I make it out to be that the BK7 is only well-suited for food prep. I only referenced the language used in the description of this drop. I certainly never mentioned another brand or completely different design of knife having absolutely nothing to do with this drop. Ethan's opinions, being the designer, carry a bit more weight with me than the description does, or than your opinions do. My personal...

Blades•Boker Plus Burke Hitman Frame Lock Folders

Thanks for catching that, you're correct. Which knife steel is "preferable" is a much-debated issue with no absolute answer...it depends primarily on how much you want to spend and what application it's being used for, among many other variables like quality of heat treatment and blade thickness and edge angle. The main difference is that D2 is only 12% Chromium and therefore not considered stainless (13% min), but it will hold an edge...

Blades•TOPS Wind Runner SRE Fixed Blade/Combo

They're a pretty well respected US brand when it comes to utilitarian outdoor-oriented fixed blade knives. The models that have been featured on MD lately have been some of their funkier designs (odd shapes, recurve blades, etc), so I can see what you're saying. Maybe those particular models end up here because they aren't selling as well elsewhere and there's a surplus on hand?

TOPS Knives Smoke Jumper Knife Fixed Blade

Blades•TOPS Camp Creek S35VN Fixed Blade Knife

As requested 😁 And the 3 little guys Black Scout Featherstick, Tops mini Wind Runner, WE Vaquita We should start a discussion post just for small, unique, fixed blades. All 3 of these are very unique and interesting in my eyes, but aren't the usual neck knife designs you see everywhere Edit: had to fix company name on the Featherstick. Keep wanting to call them different names

Blades•FirstEdge 5000 Series Fixed Blade Knives

I know this thread is 2 yrs old, but I recently bought a 5150 because I wanted a one piece blade out of Elmax. I bought a FirstEdge 5155 Field Knife direct from the mfg. (It's on sale black/ black for $180 and their knives ship free) They accidentally sent me the wrong color handle in green and while they offered to swap it for the black/black I kept the green. They also gave me a %20 off code for next purchase, which I will use for for...
