I want a fixed blade

Any suggestions for a fixed blade knife?

I don't want something big and clunky. Just something sturdy that I can strap to my waist when I go in the woods.

I was thinking about this:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Very Happy

Flash you can get much nicer knives for that money, that cr 17 stuff is junk.

Is there a non-serrated version, tfisher?

eric

I think they all have partial serations.

The one I have was purchased with a sheath that has a built in sharpener.

The grip end of the knife is made with a flat edge so you can use it as a small hammer.

The features are:

This knife is as adaptable as the personnel who carry it. Use it to cut through the skin of a fuselage. Or sever a seat belt. Or egress through the Plexiglas of a chopper. Plus, the LMF II does a slick job cutting firewood and building shelter.

The over-molded handle successfully limits blistering. There is complete separation between the TangTang
The tang is the part of the knife where the blade stops and the handle starts. There are many different terms used to describe what kind of tang a knife has, because the strength and other characteristics of the knife depend on the tang format.

A full tang knife has a tang that goes the length of the handle at full width, and you can see the tang spine itself because the handle slabs are afixed to each side. This is the strongest tang format.

To save weight, the maker can taper the tang so it gets thinner as it goes back into the handle; this is appropriately enough called a tapered tang.

If the tang disappears into the handle itself, it's called a hidden tang.

If the tang thins out considerably once it goes into the handle, it's called a stick tang.
and PommelPommel
Butt Cap / Pommel: The pommel refers to the end of the handle of a knife. Many knives have a metal cap over the pommel, called a butt cap. Often the pommel is interesting because of a decoration; however, there are different forms of working pommels.
, so the knife absorbs the shocks from hammering and prevents the shocks of electricity. Smartly situated grooves and lashing holes let the LMF II convert to a spear. The low-profile SheathSheath

facilitates movement, limits noise, works for parachuting, and attaches to a belt or MolleMolle
Molle Carrying System: Stands for Modular Lightweight Load Carrying Equipment. A load-carrying system that's modular, durable, comfortable, and fully integrated.

It consists of a butt pack, a main ruck with sustainment pouches and sleeping bag compartment attached to an external frame.

There is also a patrol pack, which can be used separately or combined with the main ruck for added load carrying capability. MOLLE can be configured in several different variations to fit the load handling needs of the mission.

A connecting device on the vest is designed so that the external frame of the main ruck attaches to the waist belt of the vest to transfer the load from the shoulders and back to the hips where it can be carried much easier with less fatigue.
vest. The patented, integrated sharpener means edge retention in the field.

That's a cool blade, tfisher, but I was hoping for something smaller. Smile

Gerber makes a shorter knife in a drop point but they are discontinued.
They say they have 10 left

I have a the Buck 119, like fonly pointed out. Its good, not bulky but enufe knife to feel solid with a bit of weight.
And comes with a nice sheath. I paid $ 60.00 worth it think. Cool
