The favorites seem to be:
#22 - I have this. Nice carbon blade knife though I wish the sheath was more secure. Also available in stainless. About $30.

#1 - The lowest cost knife - only $9. Still very good. Recommended by survival expert Cody Lundin.

#731 & #748 - Carbon & stainless blades with a nice more modern handle. $13 & $16. Doug Ritter lists these as good fixed blade selections.

#2000 - The Swedish survival knife. A much more robust blade. I wish the sheath didn't look so tacky - even if it was a simple black plastic. Great knife though. $30

#840 & #860 - Carbon & Stainless blades with a different plastic handle with rubbery grips. $10 & $12
