Being a gun guy it is only natural from me to like knives also. Knives are what I started with first. Some of my favorites are big dollar pieces like ESEE, Benchmade, Randall, SOG, Spyderco, etc...
For the budget conscious I have found an awesome line of knives. Mora. You can get a razor sharp, 3/4 tang, high quality steel knife for under $20 for most models. I will be ordering another 1/2 dozen to be given out as gifts for Christmas. Some of the stats:
Model: Mora Companion MG
Steel: Sandvik Stainless, 57 on the hardness scale
Weight: 2.7 ounces
OAL: 8.7"
Blade Length: 4.1"
Blade width: .125"
Sheath: Polymer
The Companion MG Stainless has a dark green polymer handle with a black, textured, rubberized grip. The handle makes the knife very comfortable to hold and offers good traction in the hand. The knife also comes with a dark green polymer sheath with a drainage hole in the bottom. This is the only downside of this knife. The sheath is junk but work to hold it securely in a pack (which is how I use it). The blade is made of a cold-rolled stainless steel with a Rockwell Hardness Rating of 57. The blade comes in a Scandinavian grind, which holds an edge REALLY well.
I will have this one at Strouds to pass around...
I have cut up about everything I could think of around the house and it has surpassed all of my expectations. Looking forward to cutting up a few deer with it. If you're looking for an inexpensive, but razor-sharp camp/utility knife, you're looking for a Mora of one configuration or another!
