Hey,

So I was wondering what might be the best fixed blades out there are this pretty low price range?

Here's what I'm looking for:

- Anything from 2" - 5.5"
- Kydex or Zytel sheath is definitely preferred

I've got the Becker Neckers already. Anything else I should be on the look out for?

Thanks in advance!

Izula, duh!

You can find them for $43 shipped in the Dealers section of the exchange.
 
Cold Steel Pendleton mini hunter
Cold Steel Long hunter
Buck 119
KaBar hunter
and more.

There's actually lots of good value knives to choose from.
 
Queen Premium Hunter
D2 Full Tang Clip Point Oak Slab handles under 4" blade less than $40
 
CRKT Ultima 5", another great value for money fixed blade. Comes with a very nice sheath as well. Can be had for way below $40.
 
Check 'Academy' & WallyWorld - the venerable Buck 119 Special - in leather or nylon sheath - is an American made classic fb within your $40 budjet.

Wow. Lots of great suggestions!

How's about if I wanted to focus more in the 4" - 6" range?
 
Helle 05 Speider at knifecountryusa priced at $44.

They have a 5% off coupon code at top of homepage all the time.
Coupon code 'USA' generates 10% discount just don't tell them where you got it.

Fourth one down on page 1 of Helle section:
https://www.knifecountryusa.com/store/manufacturer/62/1/helle-knives.html

Plenty of other brands to browse if you don't like the Helle 05 speider but imho
it's a heckuva knife for $40.
Comfy grip, lightweight, and sheath unsnaps with quick flick of the thumb.
Sheath is green leather instead of kydex but you can't always have everything. ;)

Maybe SOG field pup - not seal pup, but field pup - 4 inch aus 8 straight edge blade and nice sheath with it - don't own one but have handled and feels quite nice. I'm pretty close to picking one up myself as reviews I've seen have been pretty positive esp for the pricetag - can get it online for about 30 bucks plus shipping. Any others have thoughts on this one? Good luck!
 
Any other suggestions in the ~$40 or ~$50 range that are in the 4" - 6" range with a kydex or zytel sheath?
 
For about $60 you can get a Becker BK2. A little more than your $50 range, but its a beast of a knife
 
ontario spec plus knives are pretty cheap on ebay. cordura/leather sheath tho.
there's a couple of models that are between 4-6 inches.
sp4, sp17, sp12 is around 6inches
sp2 is 5 1/2 inches, there's a couple websites on google shopping selling it around $40
