So, I’m putting together a small hiking/biking/get home bag (like I really need yet another bag of gear… 
). It’ll be a small sling bag of some sort, and have all the basic essentials - small multi tool, first aid kit, firestaters, etc…. And of course, a small fixed blade of some sort. But, I’m also on a budget.
Want something in the 2.5-3.25” range. Small, lightweight, kydex sheath to attach via molle, and preferably under $60-65. Something that, on a budget, will compare well to a Bradford Guardian 3 or Benchmade Hidden Canyon (these live on my primary bags at the moment) Primary function will be general, lightweight, outdoorsy knife stuff.
I’d consider an ESEE or Izulla, but even without scales, it puts me over my current price point - and $65 is a hard stop limit.
Ones I’m currently looking at:
Ruike 815 (14C28N)
Kizer Hare in (Nitro V)
Kizer Beaver in (Nitro V)
Civili Tmberbark (14C28N)
Anyone have any experience with any of these? Have a strong recommendation for or against any of these? Or even suggest an alternative that I should check out?
