So I consiering making my first knife purchase. I don't mean that I don't own a knife, its just that I want to move up to a serious knife.

I would like peoples thoughts on good knives for the value in the following price ranges

60 - 125

125 - 200

Also please give me your thoughts on fixed, auto, folding, etc.

If you are wondering how one could live with a serious knife, I hate the outdoors and therefore do not hunt, fish, camp, boat, etc. I know that is not the camp most of my fellow forumites fall into, but hey to each his own.

I could write a book on this topic alone. Some have.

My latest was a ZT 0400, very reasonably priced.

This is what I keep in my truck above my visor.

I have a bunch of Benchmade knives as well.

Mr. Miller makes an excellent product. Is the Stratofighter OTF available yet?

Still have mine that was issued to me by the USMC back in 1970 TS. It's been a workhorse of a knife. Made from 1095 tool steel and heat treated properly, the 1095 is one of the best all around tool steels you can use.

Mine has been used for almost everything you could imagine and doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the one in the photo.

Some arse on this forum has gotten me more into knives than I ever thought I'd be. Always liked them...have a bunch of great quality knives....but now I WANT them!

Ordered my first custom blade a month or so ago....being delivered next week. Carp...Mrs. RCR is going to.....never mind....she leaves no witnesses. :D (she carries a Benchmade Auto daily at work).
