>>1807811Well I mean as mentioned here
>>1807766 there is not much a $300 knife can do that a good $40 won’t. It’s just more refined and can be nicer to use in that it holds an edge longer, maybe is more ergonomic, can have a bit better cutting geometry, made in a more respected country, maybe a bit stronger, stuff that’s important but not like really life or death.
Knowing how to use it and having practical /out/ experience is the most important thing by far, in most cases it’s more important than your gear. And that being said consider if you buy a $300 or $40 knife, if you have other gear to buy that $260 maybe better spend else where, like if you don’t have a multi tool or good boots, or a good ground pad, ect...
Basically though if I were to have a blank check to buy any production knife I wanted but it was the only knife I could use for /out/ activity from now on, it would probably be the Guardian 5.5 in 3V
