Ok... I'm gonna try and look exclusively on amazon, because it seems pretty representative of prices elsewhere and it would take too long to look everywhere. I'll work in UK money, since that's where I live, and I'll convert it to USD at the end.

As someone else mentions below, other than those, stick with the brand name items and historical stuff.

I have to say, whoever this collector was, he and I have very similar taste in knives!

Cold Steel Natchez Bowie if you want something top-of-the-line.

Ontario Marine Raider if you want something a little cheaper!

u/korgothwashere · 2 pointsr/EDC

I've found the Ontario Sp10 Raider to be an excellent axe replacemet in a pinch as well, and it's even cheaper than the Becker (and slightly heavier).

u/davkslim · 1 pointr/knives

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. That's actually a bowie from Ontario Knife Company. You can get it here at ~$60.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

I'll chime in here on fixed blades.

Production Knives

KA-BAR's warranty is quite good, and of particular note is their Becker line. I like the BK-5 and BK-7, the latter of which I had DuraCoated and the edge touched up on a paper wheel. On the off chance that these full-tang knives are broken, they'll be replaced.

Ontario Knife Company is another that has a great warranty, and I can personally attest to the quality of their 1095 HC with regards to heat treat and general strength. It is hard to avoid giving these guys honorable mention, especially since their Marine Raider model goes on Amazon for ~$55, which is a steal given that the knife is just under ten inches of 1/4" thick quality carbon steel.

Semi-Custom/Full Custom Knives

I am surprised I see Survive Knives nowhere in this thread. They're well known for their GSO line, which has been documented to perform extremely well in the field.

Busse Knives are also quite robust and hardy, backed by a good warranty. Their fame for producing extremely tough cutters is well-earned. The steels they use are extremely durable and make the knife very resilient; usually their INFI steel, occasionally S7 or some other premium grade. The knives themselves have a superb fit and finish as well as a splendid out-of-the-box edge. Busse has many sister companies, but all have the same ironclad guarantee of quality and product protection. With "buy it for life" in mind, Busse is an excellent choice, whether one is buying production or going custom.

I must also mention Treeman and Behring Knives. For both tactical and traditional field knives, I had the pleasure of doing business with both James Behring Sr. and James Behring Jr. for a piece that was experimental at the time. These guys consistently make an absolutely killer fixed blade that is tough as nails; here's a video of George Matheis of MCS going to town with one such blade on an oil drum as proof.

While not technically a knife, RMJ Tactical deserves a mention here. With tomahawks that can pierce kevlar, act as entry tools, and open the chassis of a car like a can opener, these are hard-use axes which serve remarkably well and are backed by a fantastic lifetime warranty.

For more traditional (but no less effective) fare, one could look to Himalayan Imports if one were so inclined. Touting their Ang Khola model as "the unbreakable knife", their trust in their product runs so deep that if you can manage to break it, they will give you two -- free. Hand forged and very sharp, the fit and finish of these thick and heavy blades is outstanding. The khukuri is a wicked chopper, coming in at reasonable prices, varying in size depending on the user's preferences.

All of these are great options if one wants to buy only one blade.

I think this knife might be right up your ally.

The Ontario Marine Raider bowie is heavy enough to chop kindling and large enough to use as a small machete or short sword
