Hey! I have been into knives for only a few years, I've only ever been interested in folding knives due to the fact that EDCing a fixed blade isn't really an option in my state. But I realized today- I don't have a single fixed blade utility knife. I have folders I use occasionally for outdoor and camping stuff, but as I am going on a few extended camping trips later this summer, I think it might be time to get a functional fixed blade, for basic outdoors tasks, camping and hiking. Why risk breaking a folder?
I don't need a shaving sharp knife, I have folders for fine work. I need something highly inexpensive, but that will last and not break. Full tang and easily resharpened. Lightweight but not at a loss to strength. It'd be great if it comes with a good enough belt sheath. Small (3.5-5" blade? Maybe more?) is fine, whatever has a long enough handle to be comfortable. Something more traditional looking would be cool.
As you guys know what you are talking about, you tell me what I want to buy. Sturdy, simple, rust resistant, lasting, useful, and number one, very inexpensive. I make minimum wage and have gas, ammo, and school to pay for. I'm not really looking for "just save up and buy *insert high end or custom knife*" I want your guys' opinion on what is cheap, but works, and won't break, and will shave wood, light batoning, cut sticks, prep food, random stuff. By inexpensive, I mean $10 to 20 if possible. Less is more.
Thanks in advance
