Case sodbuster does it all

That looks like a very robust pocketknife CC!

I’ve been using a Kershaw pocket knife with a tanto point with some saw teeth at the bottom of the blade.  

It has been very practical for me and has held-up well.

New York City, where I live, has a ridiculous "gravity knife" law which makes it illegal for NYC residents to carry folding knives. And fixed-blade knives have to be 4 inches or shorter.

I've been looking at cheap fixed-blades and, based on reviews, looks like a good one.


Any recommendations for fixed-blade knives with 3-4 inch blades, under $50?

I prefer the stainless steel blade.

The recent stabbing spree by a mentally ill person and the brilliant response by quick acting citizens to grab folding chairs and crates to subdue this guy until he could be arrested and carted away by the police was awesome. This crazy guy was sporting a huge kitchen (butcher) knife. I bet his mom was upset that her favorite knife was stolen by her son.

For fixed blade, the already mentioned Moraknif is a great option. The value-to-quality ratio probably can't be beat.

Another great option is a Marttiini made in Finland. It also comes with a nice leather sheath. I have the model Big Game Condor with a 5 inch blade and it's around $30. You might be able to find a model with a smaller blade. I have both the Moraknif and Marttiini.

Another great option is Buck knives. I have several Bucks.

Btw, Case and Kershaw are great, too. I have both.
