I have recently gained interest after being in the knife collecting hobby for almost 2 years now for wanting to EDC a traditonal.
Im a bit confused on blade quality with traditonals.
A couple years ago i purchased a RR red pick bone canoe knife i love the way it looks but i hardly use it because I'm afraid its cheap soft steel since it was $10
I want a traditonal that the blade is going to hold up very well and be strong to being used on a normal basis.
I dont care so much about the fine details of the handle as far as quality control of how well it was polished or if theres a tiny gap or any of that, i just want a durable blade (one with 2 blades) that will last me and maybe i can hand down one day, only issue is im on a tight budget around $30 or under.
Is there anything quality i can get and use it like my grandpa used to use his old buck?
