Am a Brit who's just finished doing humanitarian work in Africa for just shy of 3 years. Afore that i worked with the homeless in America and Britain.
I'm new to this forum, posting, although i did look at it a few times about 4 years ago when in America.
I'm basically wanting advice on the best alround hard wearing,almost unbreakable knife available but not a custom; i'm basically down to a few hundred dollars equiv when i arrive back in the UK. Am in France at present (don't get me started on what i think of the French ) as came through Moroco and Spain and need to get back to the UK to get some funds together.
I kinda believe that humanitarian work should be done for very little aside from food and shelter. Doesn't make you that different from the people you work with and thus seems one can be more effective in imparting whatever message/project versus one swanning around in huge Landcruisers pontificating to the impoverished.There's huge amounts of this in Africa.
Anyways i was, from what i can see inclining towards a Natural Outlaw, then i saw the flying Mojo and then the Swamprat knife that looks life a steel heart and now am thoroughly confused ! So if any of you lads out there could give me a bit of your expertise i'd be very appreciative.
It'd be used for cutting, opening can and bottle, slashing a fair bit, cutting rope and chord, unblocking things etc etc . Also don't want anything with a Battle Mistress type length blade
Sincerely,
Simon Fellows
