I'm throwing this out as an example of how many good pieces of knives we can have with us for a low price:
SAK Tinker $22.00
Opinel # 7 lock folder 3-1/16" 9.00
Mora Clipper 4" 10.00
Old Hickory 8" 7.00
Tramontina 18" 9.00
subtotal: $57.00
All of these are very lightweight and useful. Is there anything missing here for a weekend in the woods? Okay, a chopper. I'm not really big on hatchetts, so let's do a 12" x 1/4" Filipino bolo from Reflections of Asia: $20
Total: $77.00
Experience: Priceless
Interesting that the most expensive knife is the SAK, but it is a multi-use knife. I'm not knocking more expensive bush knives, I own quite a few myself. But if you look at that list, you can see a bunch of knives that outdoorsmen have used quite well for generations; simple, effective, low cost. Of course this doesn't include the cost of the kydex sheaths we will want to put on them
