Randall 1's or others. I'm not talking sci fi 3 blade weird [bleep], just classy, big, stickers that a man would be proud to have strapped to him during a pandemic. Anyone?

Here is one we made for a hog hunter that would probably be considered a fighting knife by most people. It has a 7 inch blade of CPM S30V. This is the combat knife we have provided to military in all the branches of service except the Coastguard. It has a 5 inch blade of either CPM S30V or 3V steel. It has been very well received, but I don't know if it has done any fighting. I think it is mostly used as a utility knife...

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Jstuart, Glad as hell to see you back! Worried something happened to you. Hope the fires didn't do you too much harm.

Jack, I think my Howe boar hunter could be a “fighter”...
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

I have an older Cold Steel Black Bear Classic (a very well made knife, not the POS Bowie they sell now with that name) that I use when hand catching/hunting hogs. It was originally designed as a fighting knife, and would work very well as a SHTF knife, though in reality it is more like a short sword. https://youtu.be/I7jh3JGMXLU
