I'm also open to suggestions if you recommend of any kind. I'm lookin for fixed bade at least 12" TOtal L my budget is $150. Kbar Bull Dozier www.amazon.com/Ka-Bar-2-1275-8-B ...

From your picks I'd go with the Kbar Bull Dozier- edit- got my stats mixed up-- I like the blade design, but materials are just meh, normal knife stuff. Still looks nicest. BUT I'm going to suggest something from Fallen. I LOVE my Bolo Brushknife- pure tough badass-ness: bolo brushknifeOverall length 17 3/4in Here are a few others he's made which are over 12" total length, but I'd check with him about what's available or if he can make something to order: mamba styleOverall Length: 13 3/8in jungle slayeroverall Length: 18in utility\camp knifeOverall Length: 13 3/8in bowiesOverall length: 14 1/4in. edit/add three other ones: 3 big knives.. what can I say? I like his work

I checked those out I like the ones made by CRKT they are sweet looks like a good cutter.
Chris your killn me that second Bowie with your Bolo skull crusher end would be perfect :idea: And a hand made blade with 1/4 inch steel would give me the heft I want. Aw yeah!

I saw in the other thread (JD's kuk-ie hybird) you're in line for something from Fallen- did that just happen tonight or did I miss that when I read the thread earlier today?
1/4" does feel powerful once you've gotten used to thin stock used on all those knives sold all over the interwebz.
Fallen was telling me he has lots of 5160 right now - great stuff when done right

Yes Sir He is going to make me a French Naval Axe I designed. But Now I'm thinking a bad ass Bowie to match might be in order. I hate luv this forum always so easy to spend money. I guess it's time sell some stuff. That Bowie is just too evil :twisted:

I really like to buy carbon steel knives with minimum blade length of 10 inches.

Chris if things go right I'll be making a big buddy to your bolobrush knife, except it will be 3/16in thick. 1/4in thick would be too heavy for a 20 in blade.
The knives you have listed the jungle slayer and utility/camp have been sold. Still have plenty of others.
