I apologize if this has already been asked, but the search button isnt working for me at the moment. Does anyone have any experience with the Canadian Belt Knife? I'm traveling out of the country, and dont want to risk losing my other fixed blades, but I need a decent knife. At $12 I dont care if it gets taken at security or otherwise lost, but I'm not sure if it's a reliable knife. I know you get what you pay for, but I've been hearing some good stuff about CS's knives. I'd appreciate any opinions on this knife, or an affordable alternative.
 
Looks like a copy of the DH Russell Trout and Bird Knife.

For most stuff it would probably work out pretty well.

In that price range you may also want to look into a Mora. For about the same price you can get a clipper, which is regared pretty well. There is some other less expensive models too. www.ragweedforge.com

It's so new I didn't even know it was in stock yet. I'm not familiar with the steel.

Take a look at the Swedish Moras for an equally inexpensive knife of proven reliability. http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html

Agreed. Go to this sub forum here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=692

Use the search function for "Mora" and you will find a wealth of info on inexpensive knives with proven reliability. Search function is your friend;) :D
 
New Graham has them in stock already for 11.97 and they are the best online shop around.
 
Get a Mora, good and inexpensive.

Or get a Grohmann, the knife that the Cold Steel CBK was copied from.
 
I checked one out at a gun show today. It's a cheap, zytel handled copy (ripoff?) of a Grohmann #1 - one of my favorite knives. They also have a cheap copy of a Mora style, called the "Finn Bear". Both have cordura pouch style sheaths.
I don't know why you would copy a Mora for about the same price as the vastly superior original, which can be had in carbon or stainless. For an inexpensive (but great) knife. go for a Mora. If you like the Grohmann -they're wonderful knives, but underappreciated - get the real thing (in flat grind).
