There are some beloved knife makers on here such as Ingram, May, Winston, and Dozier.
What up and coming makers out there are doing practical hunting blades, with well treated and ground steel, and a good kydex holster? I think the "ideal" working knife would be 3.5", drop point blade, hollow ground, with a low profile kydex. Micarta or wood scales, but nothing fancy.
Nothing wrong with the fellas above, but the wait list and prices reflect their high quality reputation and I figure there must be some others out there that are doing good work at reasonable prices that dont get the attention they deserve.
What say the fire?
