but ka-bar is generally pretty good

yeah seems good enough to carry

mlok prevents me a bayonet so i ruled out looking at those

you have any large fixed knives you prefer?

https://www.amazon.com/CDS-Survival-Stainless-Multi-positioned-Sharpener-Firesteel/dp/B015W9MAYC

those are pretty cool

no guard is a bummer but i might scope that brand out a bit

i don't like guards

don't fight with a knife

it's a tool

yeah

it is a tool

hmm well if i like guards, any recommendations?

im picking yuor brain to see what other knives you like

this brand has always gotten good reviews, never really handled one though, seems like a good choice on the budget end https://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Bushcraft-Carbon-Fixed-4-3-Inch/dp/B009O01H0Y

the classic ka bar is a good choice https://www.amazon.com/KA-BAR-1217-Straight-Fighting-Knife/dp/B001H53Q6M/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1503383067&sr=1-3&keywords=ka+bar

polymer grip might be better to you https://www.amazon.com/KA-BAR-1213-Black-Straight-Sheath/dp/B001AIAIP8/ref=pd_sim_200_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZN96YDKBAA1F11ZSQCH5

yeah i like a classic k bar

id have to get case additionally

but thats always been a solid knife

the polymer might be cool too

I think these morakniv options are better TBH

steel looks better

i feel like someone else told me about that brand the other day too

im gonna scout out their inventory

@Ilya Muromets I would buy a camp knife before a fighting knife, and also have a machete

for actual brush clearing and such

lol what is this link

what defines a camp knife for you

and machetes are great

this has a molle sheath http://www.bladehq.com/item--Morakniv-Tactical-Fixed-Blade-Knife--24658

camp knife = sturdy build, plain edge, good handle

no guard

you woudn't use it for hacking/choping type stuff

and knife fighting is dumb IMO

yeah it is

something to split kindling with

and cut up rabbits for stew
