Best survival knife under $100?

[jsx1043]

I've been perusing as well. TOPS knives has the BOB Knife and Shango XL for about $130 right now - both come with a kydex sheath and firesteel.

I have mix of Becker/ESEE EsKaBar, Mora Carbon, SOG SealPup, and a repurposed Tramontina steak knife (yeah, I said steak knife - that thing is awesome!) as field knives right now.

After the financial demise of Blackjack back in the day, what survives are two very different lines: the line of Blackjacks that are Randall clones and actually made by Bark River... good stuff. Then they have this line of cheap flea market crap that wholesales for 10-15... i wouldn't trust that garbage to clean my toenails.

Sub $100? Becker, Esee, Ontario/Ranger. <200? Swamp Rat/Scrap Yard.

How about a Mora? Or, actually ten or so of them.

Don't you know that it takes a minimum of a $200 knife to survive in the woods overnight!!!

It just occured to me, and I'm surprised no one else has suggested this besides Stacey, Ontario make some nice solid knives.

Yikes! Out of 363 reviews from hard core survivalists and outdoorsmen on Amazon it was rated at 4 of 5 stars. I don't doubt that it's a nice knife for $40, but I can't buy that it's a 4 out of 5.

I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Schrade-SCHF2SM-Extreme-Survival-One-Piece/dp/B0038A1VKW/ref=pd_sim_hi_3 that 4 hardcore survivalists on amazon rated at 4 of 5 as well. I won't recommend it to you yet because I haven't gotten to use it yet, but I like the concept.

I was just kidding. I'm an ESEE fan (my pic is the Izula logo). I would recommend and ESEE from the Knife Lady for a good survival knife in the $100 range (maybe a bit more). I love my ESEE 4.

Check out the Columbia River Ultima it sells on Amazon for about 100, it's strong, sharp and has an almost perfect handle.

I'm kinda surprised this is still around, but this is what I have in mind when I think of a "survival" knife.
