Looking for a fixed blade for hiking and camping?

Hey everyone, I'm curious if there is anything that had a blade length of 4 inches, preferably carbon steel, and full tang if possible. Would like to keep it around 50$ give or take. Thanks

How about a Kabar Mk1

Becker bk16. Its just over 4 inches, but also just over $50. I got mine for about $60.
Check Mora's, they have several for less than $50. I like my companion for $13.
Condor bushlore is another option, though I don't own one.

Becker bk16 is close, but a bit over 4in (4.375), and so is the condor bushlore (same blade length).

Condor bushcraft basic 4 hits all the requirements though, and runs ~$36.

Kabar mk1 is a good knife, but its a 5in blade, and is not full tang.

There are tons of moras around that length as well.

JDX, You might want to also consider the KOA Bushcamp, I believe 6" blade but appears smaller, D2 Steel, super knife, excellent grip. Great for battoning followed by food prep. Often found on 2nd market $65.00 or so. Doesn't look like much but awesome performance!

The Moras are not full tang, but for general camp chores, game , and wood processing it will not matter.

The Bushcraft Black is the most robust if you are looking for a heavier knife. The Companion and no 1 are much lighter and thinner knives, but are still up to the task. I generally carry the no 1 around my neck, it's light enough to go unnoticed until I need it.

With a $50 budget it's going to be hard to beat a Mora.

I'd say the BK16 would be a good fit for what you want. There's a group buy site that has it for $60 with a group buy.
