I need a new camping knife but dont know where to start or know as to what's good, what' bad, ect. I just want something that's simple, durable, and under $150. Can /out/ give a hand?

What do you generally do with a 'camping knife'?

If batoning wood or summat, something thick and stout would be a good choice. If slicing food and carving / light cutting....something thin.

Its a lotta good knives inside $150 US.

Get a swiss army knife/mora/opinel n.9 + hatchet + folding saw and you are set for 99% scenarios. If you need anything else you wouldn't be asking or you are heading right into memeland.

Get one of those Kabar kukris for under $100, they should run like $85 or some shit. That or a bk9. Though both will be less than necessary when compared to a small folding hatchet.

Three of pic related

One for batoning memes, the second for carving wooden spoons, and the third for shaving your neckbeard.

No, because it's a kukri, and not a hundred dollars. Also, a small <$40 hatchet will outperform almost any knife.

Yes, but as a Glock it automatically doubles as both a throwing knife and a grenade.

Aside from my Gerber™ Bear Grylls™ Survival Knife™, pic related is the only thing I bring with me while innawoods. Anything more is just a luxury.

I don't think I understand the point of batoning, like, are there not enough fucking branches you can burn where you need to baton torso-thick fucking wood?

i own one its scandi so easy to sharpen for beginners and great for handling wood,thick blade for batoning which i suggest against heartily,and grip is wood without a hilt but i've never had my hand slip using it so you should be okay.

so you expect people to not use their "survival" skills to test knives by intentionally using them in ways they were not intended, for purposes that are not actually about surviving!?

are we supposed to actually carry the right tool for the task!? gawf! drown me in the mainstream already!

Indeed. Although I'd say you could even do without the hatchet. I've never had to split logs for campfires. Perhaps where I go there's just plenty of medium sized deadfall.

It is a very broad and poorly defined term since I've seen camp knives go up to 11 inches and down to 3. Ultimately, it depends on what and how hard you're going to use your knives. ESEE 6 (or a 5 if you're a special kind of stupid) would fit the bill and some LT Wright and Battle Horse Knives will fit that.

Bahco Laplanders. One of the best folding saws out there and can fit in a pocket. Things are so cheap theres no reason not to have one.

Buy and restore an old hatchet and then buy a Mora. That'll get you started innawoods and give you a new hobby at the same time.

Yes, do this. You'll end up with new skills plus quality tools and the feeling of satisfaction that you didn't just push a button on amazon

get a mora companion for starters.
once you actually used that think about what it is lacking.
when you realize you never use it aside from maybe making spits and cut some bacon you will be happy with your purchase.
