Any good slicers (thin blade) for under $300?

[Kabanstva]

Hey guys, I have about a dozen nice knives but I'm realizing most of them have really thick blades. When I use them for food prep I immediately see they're just way too thick for the task. I'm not doing much bushcrafting these days so I'm looking for a good thin blade knife? Anything you guys can recommend? Prefer fixed blade, minimum blade length 3.5".

Cold Steel Master Hunter springs to mind. Not a 'thin' blade, but the full flat grind makes it a very slicey knife.

 

[Jdottinger]

David Mary makes some great slicers. His EDChef comes to mind, might be right up your alley.

The TRC Classic Freedom would tick all the boxes for you. Fixed blade right under your price range, 3.6" blade and ground extremely thin with thin bladestock. One of the sliciest in my collection, it's a great knife.

Tons of great makers Here on BF.
For your price, I'd bet you get more value with staying with a less known name.

Funny how a nice paring knife, is usually what I need.
Something like this with a custom sheath.

Long been discontinued but a Buck 107 is a nice knife, that had a nice sheath

Most knives labeled as Bird & Trout will fit your requirements.

 

[bikerector]

Still have the black micarta one. 3/32" AEB-L with 3/4" convex. 4.25" blade. Aimed at camping, called the bush camp. Well under $300.



Also have Michigan Utility Knives available. 3.75" blade. Also very good slicers and aimed more towards hunting than camping, but plenty good for camping if slicing is your needs.

 

[Spillproof]

Under $100:
Manly City

Under $300:
North Arm Skaha2 (MagnaCut)

ETA: these are both <3.5"

 

[Velitrius]

Bradford USA, grab a Gatsby or even his paring knife in MagnaCut.

Horsewright has some beautiful slicy designs. Great sheaths too.

I occasionally grab my TRC when I’m in the kitchen. But it’s not a kitchen knife design. It’s a camp knife. That’s a compromise.

In my professional life as a chef I learned to prefer 6” utility/petty knives for general work. That and a 10” French Chef’s knife covers 95% of all restaurant kitchen tasks.

I have a David Mary kitchen utility blade and it is excellent. But the French butcher knives I linked above equal it (though a bit thicker stock) at a fraction of the cost.

They are superb slicers.
