back up fixed blade

[gnw1209]

I'm looking for a knife to use as a back-up blade and I need some help,
any knife meeting he following would be great;
100$ max
full tang
4-6 in" blade
non laminated

I'm looking at the rat rc-5 any thoughts?
thanks,
Garrett

What do you mean by back up? What do you plan on doing with it?

ive chipped the edges on laminated blades hitting dirt or rocks....
as for use i take back the back up blade part im more or less looking for a great all around knife for the camp.

thanks,
Garrett

Being that you brought it up, I see no reason to try to talk you into some other knife, Rat Cutlery has an impeccable reputation for quality and service and the RC5 is a great looking knife. It is currently pretty high up on my "lust for" list...

If its a production knife you seek then my vote is for a Rat Cutlery knife. If its a handmade then check out some of the knife maker's forums in the makers area. They make some really awesome knives.
