Wolf Pack Knife Suggestions!!!!

[chiye tanka]

Ok folks, lets hear what knife/knives you won't leave home without.
The idea is this:

$0-$30
$30-$50
$50-$100
$100- and up

Keep in mind, this will be OUR suggestions and our way of trying to help each other as well as new comers make an educated choice.

[chiye tanka]

By the way, aside from price, the choices should include:

FIXED BLADE
Full tang (Mora is acceptable, even with it's partial tang)
Quality
Availibility

In the $100.00 and up, if you choose a custom knife, include maker and price.
We'll keep this thread open for a week. After that, we'll average the knives out, post a poll and vote.

Even though it's NOT full tang, it's pretty close, so my suggestion in the low range is the Mora as it has been recommended by some survival experts. If it doesn't qualify say so & I'll pick another.

Personally, I'm a bit biased toward my Buck Zipper, model 691. Costs about $70. I've found I can put it through quite a lot and it still works for me. I'm also biased towards my personal modified kukri. Bought it for $30, ground the handle to fit my preference, cord-wrapped the handle, re-covered the original sheath, and sharpened it. Both are readily available, especially if you have an eBay account. Both are full-tang and I consider both to be high quality.

[chiye tanka]

That's ok.
The thing is, not everyone will be able to find something like your kukri, but it doesn't hurt to mention things like that.

$0 - $30

Mora

$30 - $50

Ontario SP1 Spec Plus Marine Combat

$50 - $100

Don't think I paid over $50.00 for any of them, though they're probably over $50.00 now 25 years later.

$100+

Never owned one. Probably never will, either.

[chiye tanka]

I forgot to state the knife should be a fixed blade.
Sorry Ken, we'll do a multi-tool thread next.

(fixed blade, BIG HINT, shaking head)

Okay. You said that in your second post, didn't you..... I'll edit my post!

Thus far my Buck knife...$50.00 @ Gander Mtn. 6"/7" blade- It is the 119 Special. Then whatever else i grab that fits in my pocket.

[sgtdraino]

$0-$30

Victorinox Midnight Mini Champ (just under $30, I never leave home without it, and use it constantly)

$30-$50

Buck Nighthawk (a little less than $40, good value if more expensive knives are out of your price range)

$50-$100

SOG SEAL 2000 (a little more than $80, this is my primary, the largest knife I carry)

$100- and up

Cold Steel San Mai III Recon Scout (about $200, a shorter version of the Trail Master. I have a Trail Master, but general concensus here is that a shorter knife is a bit more useful)

[Rick]

$0 - $30

Mora 780 - $11.00

$30 - $50

Don't have one.

$50 - $100

Don't have one.

$100+

$50 to $100: Ka-bar fighting knife; @ $50.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. Keep 'em coming.

Are we going to pay to have our name etched on theblade like some other forums and wilderness schools?

Is it an edc with a 2.75 to 3.75 inch blade? Or 4 -6 inch blade?
Handle edc - 3.5 to 4 inch, or 4 -5 inch?
A clip point or a drop point?
ohh.. so many questions...
