my step-dad's birthday is coming up and i want to get him a knife as all he has are cheap knives in low end steels. he hunts a lot so edge retention is one of the most important things. below i have listed the criteria
criteria:
1. super high edge retention (s35vn, s90v, s110v, elmax, etc.)
2. lightweight (6.5 ounces or under)
3. straight edge (no serrated or part serrated)
4. fixed blade
5. stainless steel (he sadly does not take very good care of his knives or else id give him a bk16)
6. compact (less than 8 inches o.a.l.)
7. inexpensive (less than 100 max preferably less than 70)
the knife does not even have to have handles i almost bought him an elmax mule team and put handles on it but i lost the auction. so yes it can be a blank. i was looking at the scrapmax but i didn't like the looks and it would have been too thin for him. it would come home the first time looking more like a short saw than a knife.
thanks in advance
p.s. I's be fine even with a titanium knife with a carbidized edge if there is one for a low enough price.
