He's a hunter/fisherman type.

Kinda' want to stay at or below $100.

Anyone know anything about Fallkniven knives?

Or one of the Benchmades - like the HK Plain Edge or the Griptilian or an Ativator?

Falkniven are excellent knives. So are Randalls.

B@astard file + large sander + 30 minutes = great knife.

Falkniven is from Sweden, and considered one of the best in the world.
I like these:RC-3 is the one
I was looking at one not too long ago and really liked it.

Thanks G. Whatcha' think about the SOG Team Leader (DuraTech™ 20CV) TL-01? It's a little higher in price but I think I can find one for about $170. Really the gift limit is supposed to be $50 but screw that. You get what you pay for and this guy (actually my niece's husband) is a pretty good guy

Have you looked at Helle Knives? They are Finnish knives and I will swear by them! Very attractive knives also!
This is like the one I have, it is the Safari.

I've also heard great things about Falkniven. If I were in the market for a fixed blade right now I'd probably go with a SOG. For the money I think they are a pretty good find.

Strider, ZeroTolerance, Horrigan would be my top choices. I don't have any experience with the RAT products but all I hear are good things.

I love my benchmade, it is a folding knife, but they have a fixed blade that is next on my shoping list...its called the Nimravus. you can get the blade partially serated or with a full blade. They also offer it in standard drop point or a tanto version. I was watching one on ebay(serated blade) that sold for under $80. They normally run around $110+. Some also come with a black moded sheath with a thumb release.

i definately want one!
