Grohman is canadian made in pictou Nova Scotia if you’re not going custom. They have a scratch and dent section too at roughly half price.

Support canadian if you can and there’s no reason not too as their products are far better than any Chinese piece of shit with a fancy name.

I Second the Grohman selection. Fine Canadian blades, Solid reputation.

Thanks for the replies guys!

What i'm looking for does not have to be custom, but definitely want quality and don't mind paying a 100-200+, the main one I want is a big bowie knife stabber for defence in the event I get attacked by a Bear or Lion and my gun gets knocked out of my hands I almost strictly scout and hunt alone so I always carry one, the one I take out now is my Dads and don't want to keep taking it out in the elements and bushwacking with it as it and the sheath inevitably takes a beating.

Stainless fixed blade with studs/rivets bowie knife what i'm looking for, then just a nice all purpose/camp knife because I lost my last one in Sept. I've got all the skinning and gutting knives I need. Was thinking about a nice backcountry folding knife with a saw 2 in one as well if I have enough but that one can wait

Huh, I never ever thought of wearing a big a$$ knife for bear/lion protection??!! I've always had a defender/hunting rifle with me!! I always have my buck fixed blade on my hip, guess I subconciously did carry one for that? Anyways, I like the North arm stuff, don't own one yet, but handled a few, and they are nice! Moosin

Also if i'm bow hunting too and don't have a gun with me, last resorts effort
