Need suggestion for boot knife

[chaos999]

Hey guys, I need to a suggestion for a really good double edge boot knife that doesn’t break the bank; less than $100 if we can. I am not as knowledgeable on metal compositions as most of you, but 440 seems like it should hold up for a while. I would like the blade to be no more than 5” but 4” would be my ideal length.

I just broke an inch off the tip of a S&W boot knife which I thought would last longer than it did. I use this knife exclusively for cleaning and scraping Cholla wood.

A.G. Russell Sting was always a favorite of mine. Here's a hollow ground beauty with cocobolo handle...

Cheaper yet is this one piece steel version from CRKT...

And cheaper still, with a bit of a different spin is the Sting 3B....

I like them, anyhow.
