I have two fixed blades that are made by Buck, love them both, one has a 4" blade and the other is 6" , the bigger one my dad has always given me crap about cause he says its too big, but it has skun many animals and holds a razors edge well. but you may find others that you like better. I realize that it pob dont help you much but, thats what i use, as matter of fact i just used lil one sunday on my deer, not counting the numerous times nicking myself while cleanin it out. woked sweet..
