Also, don't ever get a hollow tang knife especially those gimmicky survival knives. It WILL break on you..

Moraknif is the best value. Opinel's are basically hipset shit, but not bad.
Buck knifes are solid knives for the money and have a good waranty
victorinox is pretty good for a multi-tool system although a leatherman wave is probably the best multi-tool to get.

everything else is just like…extravagant cool shit yo probably dont need.

Not pic-related.

>no tang: easier to break
>tiny useless compass in metal cap: will lose accuracy with time
>case in handle: rattles during use, and can you guarantee it's waterproof?
>random features on back of blade (???)
>unknown steel, likely without a decent edge.

99% of camping tasks are things like, cutting paracord, cutting food packages, random whittling stuff (sometimes important, e.g. to make a setup for cooking, or connect wood together to make some sort of shelter.). Most of these tasks, except for cutting wood, can be done with scissors. I've known people who keep EMT style scissors on them for this reason, when solo backpacking (less risk of a laceration, when using a knife for something that scissors can do, important stuff when solo and far from home).

Otherwise, everything suggested is pretty good. Get the best blade that fits your budget (in terms of ability to take a good edge), learn to take care of it, and don't listen when people talk about 'batoning'

Leatherman has a line of EMT scissors that are suppose to be pretty good plus having g some other accessories .

I agree to an extent about batoning wood. I baton wood with a knife myself but it is a full tang knife at a thickness of close to 3/16". It can take it. Mind you it would be a last resort to baton if I only had a bushcraft knife.

Now if I was carrying my Busse Battle Mistress FFBM that would be different.

Just get a Buck 119 and be done with it.

The main thing after taking a knife indawoods is to know how to sharpen it.

>>519
well if one can't sharpen their knife they shouldn't own one in the first place

>>568
I totally agree but a lot of people sadly walk around with a knife w/o the knowledge of sharpening.

>>515
I would not take a folding knife in the woods. Full tang or nothing bro!

Folding knives are alright as long as you don't expect it to do heavy work like chopping wood. If you want it to make tinder and light wood carving it's cool

I have a hard-on on Spanish knives, the quality is astonishing and they are cheap as fuck

"Muela" and "Nieto" are specially nice brands.
