You won't be sorry with an ESEE. I have an Izula and it's one stout little fixed blade.
Benchmade and kershaw blades are always good they have a wide variety of fixed and folders...stay away from gerber their quality has gone down crapper, bought my dad one for Christmas got it out of the package and it really feels like a 5 dollar knife...hope this helps
And so when man and horse go down beneath a saber keen, or in a roaring charge of fierce melee you stop a bullet clean, and the hostiles come to get your scalp, just empty your canteen, put your pistol to your head and go to Fiddlers green. U.S Army Cavalry
I carry the Ka-Bar TDI Law Enforcement Serrated. It's an excellent knife and Chicago-legal at 2 5/16" blade length. KA-BAR Knives, Inc. - Knives > All Categories > TDI Law Enforcement Knife, Serrated - Hardcore Lives. Hardcore Knives.
I bought mine here: KA-BAR Knives: KABAR TDI Law Enforcement Knife, Serrated, KA-1481
It comes with a fitted sheath (the knife snap locks into place, so it won't fall out) and belt clip affixed to the sheath with allen screws. Overall it's a great design for concealment.
