Looking for a cheap, fixed blade knife

[FortyTwoBlades]

Either the CS Bushman (highly recommended) or the new Bucklight fixed blades. USA made and no more than 30 bucks or so.

read a review for the Bolo, amazing thing for only 6 bucks. Has anybody have experience with ekniveshop (smoky mountain knife works)?

Edit:
FOund good reviews from smkw

Probably will order the Bolo and the Clipper. I wanted the 711, but the extra price isn't justified (it costs more because I would have to pay an extra 6 bucks for shipping).

Total is about 25. After this, ill probably save up for a fallkniven A1 (best knife at reasonable price i could find)

Take a serious look at the Queen D2 knives

Would a woodhandled Mora be tougher than the plastic? Same price, the s1 and the clipper on smkw.

Deciding between clipper, wooden s1, triflex 780. All under 12 (i think)

Damn, so many great knives, cant choose!

a used kabar, or maybe a SOG seal pup(except for chopping)
save some more money and buy a RC-4 or something

Buy moras here http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html

I like the laminated wood handle one the best, they are very tough for a stick tang knife.

And for a cheap FB that can take a beating like no other I would pick the Glock field knife. :thumbup: :thumbup:

i think the plastic handles are tougher, IIRC there was someone on this forums that tried to break them with a hammer and couldn't do it.
but is better to wait and see what the other guys will say.
and the tram is a wonderful choice, the grinds are not good, but with a little time sharpening you can make them shaving sharp.

The wooden handled Moras are a bit tougher as far as handles go. The blades are thicker than the clipper as well.

Cold Steel GI Tanto?

I've never handled one, but it's <20 bucks, and the destruction tests on youtube are pretty impressive.

How about the AG russel Deer Hunter. The Aus8 version is $40 if you want the D2 version it's only $15 extra.

Or if that's too big you could go for theur bird and trout or even Hunter scalpel versions.
