The following is a comparison of Production Combat or Fighting knives. It is meant so fellow forumites can see their options. I will try to post appx retails. Several of these are direct knockoffs of famous knives they are included to give you an idea of size and dimensions. In the case of the Randall knives mentioned, I have owned originals and the size and weight of the copies are comparable. This is meant as an ongoing thread that I hope to add to periodically.
Definitions:
OL- Overall Length of the knife, from tip to butt
BL- Blade length, from the tip to the guard or grip if no guard
G- Width of the Guard
HM- Handle Material
Kraton- A rubber feeling plastic that provides a good grip
Linen Micarta- a compressed resin soaked fabric that provides a very dense grip with a distinct interwoven pattern
