Budget Fixed Blade

[Grimmis]

I'm looking for a budget fixed blade(around $50) to stash in a get home bag. I plan on upgrading at some point, but I need something to put in the bag for now. Anybody have any recommendations?

If you want something heavy duty and big enough to handle a lot of different tasks, try the Schrade fixed blades made from 1095.

Here is a good one with a MSRP of $50, but you can get it for less most places: Schrade Frontier Full Tang Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife - Taylor Brands

Becker BK2 is tough to beat for the money, might look for a used one in that price range

Another vote becker. They are amazing knives, especially the necker.

Sorry! He asked for around $50!

When he upgrades, he can go for ESEE or TOPS!

Okay, I have been educated. There is a US-made, sturdy fixed blade in the $50 range: Gerber Prodigy.

You can get one for about $55 from Knife Lady/Bradsknives.

My fixed blade for deer season is a walmart special winchester knife that I've sharpened quite a bit. Daily carry in my truck...sadly, a smith and wesson cheapo lol

Mora does good heat treat, 1095 is easy to sharpen to a razor edge and will stay sharp

Thanks I will look into all of the knives you guys mentioned.

I recently switched my knife for the application you are describing from a Glock knife to a Cold Steel KOBUN...it's a very nice knife...it fits great in the hand...is has a solid, tanto-tip blade...the rubber grip that does not slip when wet...and came with really nice kydex holster + belt clip that fit onto the shoulder strap of my BOB with the grip right where I wanted it and where I can grab it while on the move if necessary, etc.

^This^ I have a couple of Moras. Can't go wrong for the price. Decent knives.

I ordered a Mora off of Amazon today for $25. Looks like a solid blade! Thanks for the recommendations!

Can't go wrong with a Mora. I had one thay cost about 15 bucks and loved it. Upgraded to the Mora Black and that thing is a beast. Both together were under 100.
