This old Black Jack AWACS is as much a fighter as what you mention. I don't see any reason for serrations on a fighting knife as they came about for cutting rope more so.

I take a tomahawk to a knife fight in a heart beat too.

I like that. I need to look for more Blackjack knives...

I think Black Jack became Bark River Knives. This is a as new Effingham, Illinois knife. I'd take $300.00 for it.

It hurts just as bad to get stabbed or cut by a bushcraft knife as it does a combat one!

Grab a buck by the antlers and decide if you'd rather a bushcraft knife or a fighting knife... Having actually done this several times. Bushcraft knives can kill things, but I promise you a pure fighting knife is much more efficient and effective.

Most of us who have watched Forged in Fire get a laugh Doug Marcaida, with his "It will keal". Fact of the matter Doug actually does know knife fighting. I do find it interesting in his choices of fighting knives.

I had this in my cart on ebay for awhile and the seller offered around $14 off the already discounted price. Ended up being $132.25 + tax. Couldnt say no. Ebay has been the place for me to get TOPS knives with a good discount. I got my Tex Creek 69 off there for $120 a few weeks back

I had never even heard of one (Kukri) until I was in my late 50s, but I swear it’s an excellent shape for utility knife/machete. It’s what I would want if I was in the bush and only had one blade.

Neighborhood friend of mine dad fought in WWII. Their basement had a pool table & was fixed up in a military theme. He had 2 Kukri sets on display. He told of the Ghurka's going out at night & collecting heads. He said American troops would find chalk X's on the helmets in the mornings a sign the a Ghurka coold have took their head at night while on guard duty.

I think most kids in the neighborhood had a kukri knife they got at the army surplus store.

Whatever Asian store owners/employees recommend.

I'm still working on the blade edge.

all great knifes on here but the smachet or Marine bolo now those are knives but just my opinion

Check out how KaBar has expanded their line beyond what you think of them as. Also, they are carrying Ethan Becker‘s line. Becker makes a good line of camp tools, and Bushcraft.

Miller Bro Blades.. only blade I would take into battle, and trust with survival. The M32 is my go to. Carry on..

hard to beat the battle proven kabar knivescombat and utility in one knife!

I would suggest a Gerber Strongman. These are the ones in the affordable list, but there are better options out there. Here's some pics before they got used.

Or an Esee3 or 4.
