>>2469774>>2469840>>2469943>>2470039Been using ka-bar style knives the last 20+ years and they will break right at the hilt with any serious bushcraft style use. Had this happen personally. They are okay for general use but are very thin and in all practical purposes just a fancy "regular" ratt tail tang Mora. Not built for striking or prying at all. They are a purpose built knife. When I was a kid, our scout troop would wear them. It reminds me of being 14 and having shit tier meme gear. Pic related of a USMC knife.
I like a Mora for a general use knife. They are cheap and come with a great edge. I hunt/trap so I have a lot of specialized knives for most other tasks because I try and maximize my harvest and I like nice things. Moras are just nice because you can buy 5 and stash them places. For an absolute bombproof knife outside those paramaters, check out the Habilis Bushtools line. I have 2 Pathfinders, a Wanderer and a Companion. Fucking love them. I also like Kephart style knives. Even some of the cheap Old Hickory knives would suit people well in my opinion. Just depends on what your needs are. If it is just show, then buy a Chinesium LOTR dagger. Who cares.
