Reddit mentions of Morakniv Companion Fixed Blade Outdoor Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade, 4.1-Inch, Orange

I looked it up on [American Amazon] (https://smile.amazon.com/Morakniv-Companion-Outdoor-Stainless-4-1-Inch/dp/B005EOJAKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503457990&sr=8-1&keywords=mora%2Bknife&th=1). Only $11 with prime shipping! That's really affordable.

You really don't need to spend $200 for a knife. You could spend less than $20 and get yourself a Mora knife and not have to worry about it. I've abused mine like crazy and it hasn't broken. Even if it did, it only cost me ~$15.

I love my Leatherman Squirt. It has come in handy many, many times. The pliers are especially valuable. It's not often that you need them, but when you do, you really need them.

My Mora I take with me in case I have to rassle a bear.

I don't like to bring expensive knives out into the woods (because I'll lose them), so my suggestions would be:

Mora Companion. Bright, reliable, cheap. It's the bog-standard backpacking blade.

Mora Companion Heavy Duty. Same as above, but heavy duty.

Boker Real Steel Bushcraft II. Good size for a small knife, D2, Scandi grind. I own it, I like it.

You can carry any size knife if there’s a legit reason if it’s not for self defence or concealed. I find fixed blade knives get dirty looks here in the city, but carry them fine in the woods. I carry a small folder (4” blade) clipped to the inside of my pocket in the city

If you want a recommendation, I’d get a mora companion. Great budget fixed blade and will do pretty much all you need to do.

High-Vis version of this kit.

I'm not a fan of the Knife+Ferrocerium rod combos. The Mora Survival one specifically is more expensive than the counterparts purchased separately. I prefer purpose built strikers because trying to exercise mechanical force using something other than the business end of something sharp and pointy sounds like a recipe for injury. Plus, if you lose your knife you're fucked because now you don't have a striker.

Get some:

• Gobspark Armageddon
  
• Mora Companion Stainless in Orange
  
• Mora Companion Carbon Steel in Orange
  
• Bacho PG72 'Expert'
  
• Sawyer Mini
  
• Reflective tape, electrical tape and cordage from Walmart. You can get a standard colored Sawyer for 20$ at Walmart too while you're at it.
  
  Not pictured: the sharpener I keep with this kit. It's just a 6$ Arkansas stone I picked up at the local hardware store.

I've been using this knife for camping/hunting/fishing for the past 8ish years and can't complain: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EOJAKI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Looks good but I wish there was a stainless steel mora represented in it

They are reviewed so well (think the latter has the most 5 star reviews of any knife on amazon) and are a bargain at the price.

Get yourself a Mora Companion.

Well made, cheap, reliable and extremely useful, especially in camping.

This is a perfect knife for any hunter, I guarantee you. Blaze orange will help find it after you do it, and cheap enough to replace readily. Most gunsmiths/jewelers will even engrave it for you at a small fee.

I have a Leatherman Wave on my belt. Fantastic multi-tool. Always find uses for it.

I also pull my Trilobite Line Cutter from my SCUBA BCD and stick that on my PFD, just in case. It's right next to my whistle.

Finally, I have a Morakniv Companion, in blaze orange, velcro-strapped to the cabin-top grab rail, reachable from both winches. They're cheap, and decent quality, so I don't really mind replacing it once in a while for a decent "oh shit free my fingers" backup. I should probably look for a sheepsfoot knife, but that's really what the trilobite cutter is for.

How about a real bushcraft/survival knife for $1 more? https://smile.amazon.com/Morakniv-Companion-Outdoor-Stainless-4-1-Inch/dp/B005EOJAKI/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1482419892&sr=8-7&keywords=mora%2Bclassic&th=1

There's a variety of nice machetes available in the $20 range. I have this one:

Note that the sheath is extra.

Get one of these too:

The orange version it $12, stainless, and it will last forever.
