A mora would be perfect i think. Cheap enough and would serve him well.
Jeez, I have to catch myself when I start making decisions about other peoples stuff. Sorry about that![]()
I personally love the CS Master Hunter. Its my general use camp knife, and emergency survival blade. I usually take it camping and pair it with my Fasthawk for chopping and stuff.
I also have an SRK that is pretty decent as well. I may not like cold steel as a company, but these two knives are great in my experience. Maybe OP could find one since they arent too expensive or rare.
In all honesty, ive never really wanted anything in carbon steel (except maybe an ESEE 4), simply because i dont want to loose an edge to rust without ever having used it (even if it would be easier to resharpen if I did). You can be careful, but I just dont have the patience to baby my knives. But theres no reason OP cant get a Becker or something since hes most likely in a dry climate
