Hey guys im new, i am looking for a good knife.

[mike216]

I am looking for a good quality knife. It will be used for survival, chopping, everything kind of knife. I was wondering if anybody had any good knives in mind. I want something good that is not too expensive (under $100), thanks for any help.

ESEE knives, khukuris, machetes...

A Becker BK-2 comes to mind.

BK9 gets my vote.

does the becker bk2 have a full tang?

does the becker bk2 have a full tang?

It does, as does the larger BK7 and BK9. I'd go with the BK7. Nice middle of the road knife and the BK9 is a bit large for my tastes but it's purely up to you.

Just wanted to say thanks.

Welcome. I think it will do you a ton of good, and help us help you, if you could define what you mean by "survival."

While you are doing that...I'll throw this out. There is no such thing as a great do it all knife. Many knives do an OK job of everything, but each part of that "everything" is a compromise. And...limiting yourself to under $100 is making the knife even more of a compromise.

And I'll throw out another thing....more of a general observation...why do people want an inexpensive "survival" knife? "I want something that I can rely on if my life depended on it...but my life isn't worth more than $100...that's too much."
