BTW, another lower cost knife to take a very serious look at is the Mora survival knife #2010 for only $35.
This knife is a real favorite - an underdog, so to speak - of the survival/camping crowd.
Traditionally it has only come in a kind of goofy green color (#2000), but recently Ragweedforge.com also has one in black (#2010). I like it!
