The Kydex sheath it comes with alone is
GOAT, all the metal screws and bolts holding it together are rusted to shit due to sitting in water in my boat yet the blade is completely unaffected by it.

glock field knife

about 29 nicker

I had one for using around my farm, and it held up very well.

78 model is plain back, 81 model is sawback iirc

Have you considered buying them second hand? Sure,might be harder to find a good one but the prices are steal

>>983894
Thats a terrible knife.

>>983884

Will it be able to handle batoning?

Do you own one, or are you just talking bollocks?

Not according to the batonny chop autist.

>>983876
You have to bin that knife to be quite honest with you senpai.

>>983916
I don't own one...because its a terrible knife.

Its a good bayonet, and a decent pry-bar. But knives are for cutting.

Why would you want the VG-1 one when they make it in CPM-3v, a far superior all around steel for the same price on Amazon? I don't see the point in not spending an extra $25 on something that will last a life time.

https://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Fixed-6-Inch-Blade/dp/B019RSX4IA

If you don't mind a bit shorter blade (4 1/2) there is also the Cold Steel Master Hunter in 3v for like $90.

Ontario makes a lot of knives in the sub $100 range that are pretty good, like the RAT line. And of course the Kabar Becker line is really good, the BK7 and BK10 maybe your best option.

How cheap you want to go? That's the real question? If you want really cheap and still robust, look at Schrade.

>>983884
>>983889
People still honestly like SOG? They are almost full mall ninja now a days. And even if they are quality, which for the money I don't think so, they are targeted at the Tacticool crowd big time.

>spending £100 just to bin it

Shameful.

Jokes aside, just get yourself a stainless Mora Companion and a good hatchet/axe. This is probably the best course of action here.

If you /must/ have a big knife, you should forget about your stainless requirement. Good stainless steels will run the price up. Just get a high carbon steel knife and oil it up.

You can also meet in the middle with D2 steel. D2 isn't a true stainless steel, but it has a lot of Chromium in its composition so it's not going to rust as quickly as 1095 and the like.

Cold Steel sells the Leatherneck in D2 for around $70 USD. Real Steel also sells a bushcraft knife for around $60 USD, although it's a smaller blade (4" or 10.16cm cutting edge).

Finally, maybe check out Steel Will. They use a lot of stainless stuff, and even have D2 and Bohler K110 (D2 equivalent I think) knives.

>>983883
second. try the bushcraft black model

Oh my mistake, I completely missed that. I know a lot of popular knives, ones from the American market in particular, can be very expensive over there.

I have no particular experience with Steel Will.. Personally I think the steel choice is a bit underwhelming given the price, but once again, not familiar with your market.

this!
mora c and fiskers x7 costs about 20 bucks between them.

>>985308

It's a shit knife, it cuts like shit, sharpens like shit and is expensive for what it is.

It's terrible for a "beginner" because it's a shit knife.

>>983876

Can't you get an AUS-8 version for a lot less?

That'll do you just fine

>>985347
Would if I could fucking find it, Do you know how hard it is to even buy good quality set of kitchen knives in the UK?

>>985364

Becker BK2
Mora Garberg
Mora Bushcraft
Mora Companion (buy 2 of them)
Condor Bushcraft
the various Schrade Bushcraft things

They'll be decent subs, and I'm sure you'd be able to find one of them.

>>985376

O, and if instead of a Bushcraft knife you want a combat/utility type deal, just go with a full sized KA-BAR combat/utility; cheapish and more than strong enough to baton through some wood (just don't beat on the clip point).

Schrade knives are the best quality for the money in my opinion. They have several full tang field knives under 35$. Kabar has a few knives in the Becker and Jarozs line that are nice, those will run 60-100$.

>>985312
it's neither of those, maybe you don't know how to sharpen a knife? my only issue is with the abysmal grip and sheath.

>>985376
Becker BK2 >£120
Mora Garberg >£90
Mora Bushcraft >£35
Mora Companion (buy 2 of them) >£10
Condor Bushcraft >£60

I might just do what one poster suggested and buy an axe and a mora.

Anyone have any experience with Wetterlings?

>>985544
>axe and a mora

Mora Bushcrafts have the nicest grip around (for me anyway), and the flat spine to get a spark off. The grind is great for most things and easy enough to sharpen.

That plus a hatchet (a hardware store brand hatchet for cheap is more than good enough for splitting up wood), would do you for everything /out/.

>>985129
any experience with them they certainly look sexy

>>983894
looks like a china kampfmesser 3000 clone but also a lot cheaper

>>985403
The SCHF42 and 42D are the only Schrade knives I would look at.

They seem to be in this mindset that every knife needs to be 1/4" thick. They also like to slap hollow grinds on all of those giant bricks to compensate.

The 42 and 42D are 3/16" thick with a full flat grind. I think they are much more reasonable compared to the rest of Schrade's catalog.

>>985560
By far the best knife for the money, it blew the knife community's mind.
60 bucks for this thing and a sheath of this quality is a joke, even Condor can compete at this level.

typical Mora fag response,
Knives are all purpose tools

>>987214
bullshit, i choose to go with the mora as my out knife and i think it's a great choice all things considered. i also shill a lot for moras as the best to buy when you don't know what to buy for your first knife.

but that guy is just a fucking moron. you can do a hell of a lot with your knife. you really should carry a hatchet at the minimum if you plan on processing wood of course but moras are fine and can take hell of a beating. the glock can take more of course.

i also like combat knives a lot. but they are a curious compromise between weapon and utility that is usually not a good one for a hiker. perfectly sensible for a soldier tho.

>>987214
>Knives are all purpose tools

Most are for slicing and stabbing. That's what a knife is.

Some have pommels that you can hammer with (KA-BAR fighter/utility for example), some have wire cutters, some have saw backs, some have little Rambo kits.

But a knife itself, is always to cut/slice and stab above all. You can give it a pommel to hammer shit, but it's not going to hammer as good as a proper hammer.

>>987511
i take it you never hammered nails in with a knife before. and no you don't need a pommel for that.
the most important thing about a knife is the other tools you can craft with it.
