I am looking for a fixed blade hunting knife, I need some opinions. I am looking for something with a good steel, easy to sharpen, and something that holds an edge. Reau

What are you going to use this knife for? Just a good general purpose field knife? If so then the mentioned Ka-bar would be a great choice. 1095 plain carbon steel is inexpensive, tough, easy to sharpen, can take and hold a very sharp edge. Only real trade off is that you'll have to keep a light coating of oil on the blade to keep away rust on the edge and wherever the coating wears away. I have a big SOG SEAL knife which has been pretty good except a bit tougher to sharpen.

ESEE-5
Resident gun expert Yat will back me up on that. I have one and have used it to chop down multiple small trees. I am a knife snob

Cabela's sells a brand Alaskan Guide. Check out the Alpha fixed knife by Buck Knives. $134 on site but I have seen sales for them. Excellent knife. Have skinned many deer and hog. Easy to sharpen. Gut hook works very well.

IMHO, S30V steel is the best steel for that purpose but will strawberry rust if you let it sit wet for awhile or don't take care of it. After that AUS8. Easy to sharpen gets a razors edge and doesn't rust and is affordable.
Anything steel that has CPM in the name takes a diamond to sharpen.
