I like knives that I can handle and use. For urban and EDC, I shove a Kershaw Speedsafe into my 5.11 pockets (yeah,..I wear 5.11 pants daily,..love their pockets).
For the forest, its my MORAs and also a Malay Traditional Parang....

both, use fixed blade most

Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth.
Any decent drop point with a 4"-4 1/2" blade will do it for me. Not a fan of longer blades or clip points.
I like straight blade tantos myself. Not necessarily for combat, but for practical uses. The secondary point on the tanto makes a great carving and cutting edge. It can be particularly useful for detailed tasks like primitive trap making.

do you guys think a2 is worth the money?
A2 is a good tool steel, but it is not the end all, be all. More importantly is the heat treat process. The finest steels in the world that are improperly heat treated will be crap. Of course the grinds are important as well.
I would venture a guess that 99% of the people using a knife wouldn't know the difference between a couple of similar knives that use different steels.
A2 and D2 are good steel for knives. A2 is used mostly in punches and dies. D2 is used mostly for industrial cutting tools. Another good steel is S7, it's shock resistant and used in jackhammers and pounding equipment, because it can take a beating but it doesn't have as good edge retention.Originally Posted by wolverine_173

im thinking about bark river A2 but a used knife cost about $100
Bark River is a quality manufacturer. They make the Bravo-1, which is one of the best knives in my collection. A2 is a good steel, so you shouldn't have any problems.
Man I miss those stories! Is that guy around or banned?

What stories and what member? If a member is banned it will display the word..........wait for it..........banned under their screen name.
There was a character who called himself Blade and he apparently used a Battle Mistress. Many arguments were started by him, nothing but a troll.
Crash:
I haven't seen his name in a post recently to..........wait for it.........see if he is banned!
That should be your first clue.
The second clue should have been bringing up a guy and his stories in a thread in which he never posted.......or maybe that should have been my first clue.
