I was wondering if anyone could help me pick out a good quality field/utillity knife. I am going to S.A.R. academy, so it will probobly take a beating, so it has to be strong. Also, i would like the keep the price no higher that 30 dollars. Thanks.
You're making it tough with the requirements and the $30 limit. Maybe the thing to do is hit a pawn shop or gun show and look for a surplus bayonet. I know for example $30 would get you something decent in pawns around a military base.None of these were exactly what i was looking for, i need somthing a little bigger that will be able to chop and saw through wood and rope, remember, this is for Search And Rescue Academy, and it needs to blend in ok with my uniform to, so black or OD green. keep the sugjestions comming, i apreciate the help.
ApacheCoTodd, what kind of knife is that? I have one exactly like it and have always wondered what the origins were...Coincidentally, my wife brought this little aircrew survival knife home last week from an antique store for exactly 30 bucks.
They're aircrew survival knives. We treated them as mid range disposables. Certainly a decent knife but not exceptional. They'll take a bitch of an edge fairly easily (with the provided stone, files or the odd rock) but will in turn give that edge up.ApacheCoTodd, what kind of knife is that?

Sorry for the derailment...
