Ideas for Fixed Blade

[ccrn]

Currently seeking a fixed blade for civilian carry.

I carry a Benchmade auto folder and have a CRKT M60 in the car (was cheap and readily available) both of which I got when overseas. I also carry an inexpensive Gerber folder.

Id like to take the Benchmade out of service for personal reasons (I really like this little knife), and since the CRKT is an OIF model Id like to retire it too not to mention the fact I never really did like it that much other than it was heavy, felt good in my hand, and could reach a bad guys diagphram in a worse case scenario. It had a terrible sheath.

I have a Gerber LMF II on the way to carry on my IBA, and Im saving up to purchase the Green Beret knife by Chris Reeves also for field use.

Those have been easy choices.

Whats been difficult is to find a good fixed blade for out in the civilain sector.

I have always been fond of Bowie knives and used to have a cheap model years ago. Im thinking of getting something like that again but not sure it quite fits the bill.

Currently Im looking at the Bark River vest pocket bowie. They can be had for around 170 - 230 depending. Im not very familiar with this brand.

Qualities Im seeking would include:

Nice finish ie satin not subued or black.

Full tang with pommel ie window breaker

Able to cut through metal

Blade at or just under 6"

Leather sheath

Able to reach an aorta

Good price

Looking for any suggestions as I know you guys know your knives well-

Thanks
