I am mostly active in the night and so want to get a knife for self defence. But I also want it to be useful in the wild, for clearing paths and maybe against smaller hostile animals (rabies). Thought of getting a kukri but it was told it would be a bad choice cause I would not know how to use it properly, so I wanted to get a second opinion. I have a budget of 100 bucks, up to 150 if the knife in particular is worth it or smtn.
I know it would probably be better to get 2 knives each suited to their own, but I live near a very dense forest and go through there often to take shortcuts, so I would just have to have both at all times
