Recommendation? Cant seem to find what I am looking for.

[Ronin94]

I have spent over an hour looking around the internet trying to find a camping knife to my taste but can't seem to find anything decent for under $100 so I figured I would come ask here as last time I was looking for something I was having a hard time finding you guys helped me out. What I am looking for is an 7-8-inch (12-inch overall length) fixed-blade camping knife with a saw back, textured rubber grip (Like the kind on SOG knives) and a Bowie or similar shape. For some reason despite this not being a very long or unusual list of requirements finding all of these things in a mid-priced knife around $50 or so has proved impossible. I found a few that seem to meet the requirements but are overly cheap and not made of good steel. The closest thing I have found is the link below but I am not sure there is enough texture to the grip and am not sure if it is decent quality as I don't know much about knife brands. Any help is appreciated.

Looked around because I was curious about this. Bumped into this. Not necessarily a solution but darn cool!

Best hand saw I have encountered for tree trimming is a silky model that I found in a tree trimmers bag that fell off a truck and was in the freeway. I dug through the whole bag trying to find contact info to return the gear to the fella, but to no avail so now I have a sweet hand saw, a lot of rope, several d rings and a nice harness set up for tree climbing

I have to agree with what everyone else is saying, no saw-back knife. I would get a folding saw and a fixed blade. I also don’t think the blade length mentioned is necessarily the best to carry on a belt. If I were in your position, I would pick up an ESEE 4 or Becker BK16 and a Corona folding saw from Home Depot.

A knife is not a saw and a saw is not a knife. Combing them makes a thing that is lesser, not more. Like so many have said, knife + saw is the way.

What a "saw"back is useful for is making notches for ropes etc. That's about the extent of it.
