Im a bit of a knife freak...not half as bad as some on here though...... been through many over the years and now its the same 3-4 that get the nod more often than not. the mercator is great....I have many and always have one in the day bag as a spare. the bachos are AWESOME have one in each vechile and have dressed deer and pigs out no issues at all. they stay sharp for ages and a quick sharpen has them back t razor sharp again...not sure why guys bag the sheaths they come in...personally I reckon they are top notch and I will happily put it in my pack ,wont do that with any other fixed blade as have wicked scar across shin from when it goes wrong.
svord peasant knives are good too got the mini and std size have cut up deer with both..the mini got it done but a bit bigger blade wouldve made job easier.
gerber make a good knife but you got to know ya stuff to get them sharp once dulled,same goes for buck.
one thing to remember just like vechiles or rifles you much more likely to use n abuse a cheap one....so if you do get a good expensive model, have something on hand to use as a hack and dont use tip as a screwdriver....twisted tips are a mongrel to straighten or sharpen.
