Lol true. 0 calories ?![]()
Condor knives are a great value. You can snag a pretty cheap one on Amazon.My nephew has requested a fixed blade survival knife as a Christmas gift. He is visiting my sister so I have a few days to get one. I do not know that much about knifes much less survival knifes. I've tried to do some research, but it seems to be overwhelming information. I don't have a huge budget. Maybe up to $50 so I know that will not buy a top of the line knife. So what should I look for with this budget? Any recommendations? If its a good value I may be willing to spend more. Maybe up to $75.
Are there any features I should look at and or avoid?
I know this is above my preferred price, but what do you think of the Kabar fighting/utility knife or its shorter 5 inch brother as a survival knife??
It has great reviews for function and has a cool factor and history.I've got both, the full size I'd say would be fine, the short Ka-Bars are 3/4 the size of the regular, including the handle, which feels to thin to me. The Ka-Bar f/u has a reputation that has been well earned.
He's a good kid. I don't get to do much with him, and I do have the money so I'll probably splurge and get it. Planning on taking him hunting for the last day of deer season this Sunday so hopefully I can get it in time. Just wish he was getting back from visiting his mom(my sister) early Saturday instead of late Saturday night.Good for him thenYou just have to "spring" for it
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. In the end, I allowed him to choose what he wanted. He liked the Kabar, and after making sure his dad was ok with this knife I purchased it. Should have it on Thursday. Its the Folaige Green with serrated edge and Kraton handle.
I know it is hard to tell inflection and tone on text messages, but I sense he really likes this gift already.
