A stale thread but not too dead. London (& TheDan) thank you for pointing me toward Morakniv (I'd never heard of it). I got probably the most common one - a 4.1" bladed stainless - & I love it - heck, it's even easy to sharpen. Also I recently acquired the heavy duty carbon version - it's a little bit thicker blade. Amazon is advertising the light duty carbon blade right now for $11.38. Heck, get 2.I'd rather have a $15 Morakniv than a $300 whatever. Does everything a knife needs to do except maybe self-defense (not the worst but not the best). If you need more than that get a Ka-Bar or a sword.
