Fixed blade for new camper

[CVamberbonehead]

A Buck 119 would fit the bill, or the Ka-Bar mk2 is a classic option as well. If you want a cheaper option then I would recommend an Old Hickory butcher knife (they make a few different sizes) and a leather sheath.

A little update, ive taken the mora out a couple times now and its a really cool knife for smaller tasks, but it seems to be too small for what I'm looking for, as a main camping and outdoor knife. A number of tasks i was doing it was just a bit too short for.

So the fixed blade hunt continues! Lol

What exactly are you using it for? Make a list of what the tasks are, what is most important and how much blade you need for those tasks. You'll probably find 4 1/2 - 5 inches is what you are looking for.

Though Mora makes some longer ones.
New Classic #3 at 5.25" and Bushcraft Pathfinder at 6.75".

The current 3 is what used to be the 2A3. The 3 was 6 1/4" for many years previously, so there may be some confusion if you encounter a Mora #3.
From the top, #5, 4, 3, 2A3, 2, 1, 1/0, 3/0.

The 5.25" blade does a lot of things well....
