Hard use fixed blade edc on a budget

[cbach8tw]

Mora eldris, it is handy for quick cuts and some small kitchen use, I also wonder about condor version of the Otzi knife. The OP wants to put in his pocket. He narrowed kit down to the BK 11 or 14 or the Izula. Let us know how it goes.

What about Candiru? I own one and absolutely love it.

Off the top of my head, for that price and easy pocket carry, I would recommend ESEE Candiru, ESEE Izula, BK11, BK14, Buck Paklite Hide, Buck Paklite Cape, Brisa Necker (formerly the Enzo Necker). These are all around the price range you want, easy to pocket carry, and knives I own or have owned

By the way OP does know that you can buy a sort of pocket clip thing that attaches to most kydex sheaths?

Hard use and budget makes me think of the gerber strongarm

Sorry, but how is $90 a budget price?

Glock knife, re profile it to cut. Dirt cheap.

Availability often sux

 

[Houlahound]

Why is nobody mentioning the Gerber strongarm, they even have a new camp model that is less tactical. This knife is proven over time and has the lowest price to bashability ratio on the market.

The new camp model sounds perfect for your needs.

Also my old fave that is king of beaters, very cheap and highly modifiable, the CS, GI Tanto.

I think different people have different definitions of budget.

... Or Mummert or Discrete Carry clips too.

Which puts a lot of fixed blades in to the pocket carry category

Hello, I am looking for a edc fixed blade that can take a beating, I camp host for 6 weeks and am looking for a knife to do everyday camp tasks. I would like to keep it under or around 60$. Any recommendations?

What activities do you expect to perform or demonstrate, and what environment will this camp be in?

Clearly.

If you could get your shipping information to me, I would send you a buck knife if you kept it and used it. You can't go wrong with a buck; it will serve you well.View attachment 2607132

That is as generous of an offer as I've ever seen.

 

[Tafkaag]

While I still don't think of $60 as "budget" for what you're getting (IMO these are $35-40 knives now grossly inflated, with too-short handles and lacking scales), the BK11/BK14 will certainly do all you need to do for EDC:

smaller, mabey something I could just keep in my pocket

That's kinda tough , to go that small , and still be able to do many camp chores .

Maybe a Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter ?

Shop around , can be found for ~$60 .

 

[DocJD]

If you really need to go smaller still , the Pendleton Mini Hunter in 3V steel (for toughness) .

Shop around, might find one nearer to $60 .

The Mini is a great little fixed blade , but it is really small . Like a thick blade paring knife small .

Good full handle length , but thin .

 

[Roguer]

Do you have a blade size limit? If its for food prep also I'd suggest a good 420 HC fix blade, Gerber and Buck makes some good ones. Or as mentioned earlier Cold Steel SRK.
