>>1249568Ontario Knife Company's RAT 2 is a really good entry-level folder. Sub $30, rugged, good finish. Gr8 for edc, not the worst for camping.
If you're going /out/ you probably want a fixed-blade. Any of the Condor fixies'll do it, but a Morakniv is a great choice for a budget.
If you're going to do any batoning or chop down a tree or anything like that, just bring a fucking axe.
