    Choosing a New Fixed Blade Knife

    If i were going to buy the knife of the lifetime, I would make it myself, which is something I recommend you do. If you have enough money for a custom knife, you have more than enough to make a knife you'll be happy with. Of course if you really don't want to do this, you could always contact...

    General Purpose Bushcrafting Knife

    Someone should make a sticky thread reading "READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST ABOUT WANTING A BUSHCRAFT KNIFE OR AXE" that would contain a continuously updated list of knives and axes people should look at.

    Mora Bushcraft Pathfinder Knife

    http://rockymountainbushcraft.blogspot.com/2014/01/shot-show-2014-cool-product-spotlight.html Didn't see a thread about this so I figured I'd post it. I think it looks absolutely ridiculous, but if it works, it works.

    I say budget, you say knife

    Condor's got a great line of knives, I would suggest looking at their Bushlore, Sapien, Kephart, or Tavian knife, depending on what you're looking for.
