Working and rebuilding my outdoors kit, and I used to have the best knife in the world. But while I was on deployment, a good friend borrowed it and my truck and forgot to take it out along with a few brass shells from shooting and some jack ass came along and smashed the window to my bronco and made away with my tackle box containing the knife. No idea the make or brand, my grandfather said he got it a very long time ago, it was so old it barely had an edge and had been used as a gardening knife for years before I ever got it.
Long story short, I can't seem to pin down a great knife. I have the folder front down with my myerchin captain (great knife for you sea faring folk a marlin comes in very handy) and my old remington flip knife complete with choke tool. I like the scandi grind as it seems to be the easiest of all to sharpen and seems very useful, but i find the mora line of knives down right ugly. I may be crazy, but I enjoy a simple, good looking knife as well as a functioning one. . Every time i think i have found THE knife, i read something that changes my mind. Any recommendations for a good woods knife under 150 without the gaudy handle or doesn't look like a kitchen knife? I have a camp axe so a full width tang isn't a necessity i don't think as i wont be batoning with it unless it is a legitimate SHTF scenario and my pack is lost.
sorry for the run on post guys!
