Need FB Yard knife under $20

[DaveH]

I have some yard work and sodding to do. I was thinking of an inexpensive fixed blade under $20.

Cold steel has a few I was thinking of:

Roach belly for around $12
Maybe the Canadien knife for around $12 - but new graham seems to be out of them

Do you have other suggestions?

I use a Mora (Erikkson) for cutting sod.

The Gerber Brush Thinner works well for all sorts of yard applications. I have used mine to cut sod, clear brush, etc. You can find them on sale online in the 20 dollar price range if you look,

Mora is good knife and in your price range.

 

[sodak]

I use the biggest mora I can find, they are great in the garden.

Why not a small tramontina or cs machete?

Old Hickory or Ontario work knives from knifecenter.

I second the mora. I'd get 2 Mora 510's or Clippers plus shipping for about $20.

:thumbup: I say Frosts mora also !

SMKW has the Shrade Extreme Survival for 18 bucks. If you can get over the made in China thing, they are good knives. Very heavy blade. Heavier than a USMC Kabar. I use mine often.

Check out the Cold Steel Bushman. It's a hell of a knife for right around $20, and it will handle abuse like few knives I've ever seen.

CS Bushman

I thought the bushman was discontinued?

The mini bushman is discontinued , the bowie style would be great in the yard . I have seen them for > $15 just can't remeber where.

I don't know the name of this tool but I think it's called a Japanese Garden Knife. It's a spear pointed blade with serrations on one side. Their logo is a rabbit inside an oval. We love it.

i got a roach belly and use it allmost everyday during eating

very sharp and it stays very sharp

but seems kinda small for gardening

If you are looking for something small, I would suggest the Frosts Mora Clipper (availible in carbon or stainless for around $10).


If you want something a little bigger you can get the full sized Bushman for around $20 (I think it was the mini Bushaman that was discontinued).


Or if you need a machete, you can get a Tramontina for around $6, though it will need to be sharpened.

Thanks for all the tips, I'll probably get a bushman.

DaveH---One more. A farmer I knew, used to use an old axe or hatchet. It really worked!!
