Best fixed blade under $50

CQC-7 · **on:** September 09, 2008, 01:12:28 AM

I was wondering what everyone thinks about this. If you needed a fixed blade that could handle anyting that might come up in any given situation and you only had $50 what would you go with?

I like the Mora knife. I know it is well under $50. Then there is Cold Steel and I have several of their knives I guess that there is one or more that would fill this niche.

Under $50.... probably the Gerber Prodigy. I really like this knife and I think it's a great value too! I like the Mora knives, but not really a good overall choice in the $50 range.

Despite the lack of a full tang I have seen this knife subjected to some pretty rigorous testing on the Bushcraft UK forum sorry I cant figure out how to link to it
