Looking for a good blade and hatchet need help!

[scoutsniper]

So I'm looking for a fixed blade with a molle sheath to mount horizontal on my chest rig. Also looking for a small hatchet for my bug out bag. Don't wanna break the bank on these so cheaper the better lol

Any and all options welcome. Thanks guys!

What do you consider cheap?

Inexpensive but solid hatchet or tomahawk- Estwing

Inexpensive but solid knife- Becker BK2

The BK2 doesn't have a nylon sheath, but you can attach the polymer to molle fairly easy

100$ or less for both

How large a knife?

 

[tmschuller]

I like the SOG tomahawk hatchet.. Walmart 25$. Cheap efficient, light weight and easy to pack. Fun to throw.

 

[scoutsniper]

I was thinking of the sog. For the knife something that fits across the today not my plate carrier. So probably overall length 8-10??

Given your cost constraints; take a look at the SCHRADE SCHF3N. For that matter take a look at all the SCHRADE knives in the SCHF lineup.

I've been pretty happy with what the Tom Brown Scout has done for me for almost 10 years, but that may not be as large a knife as you are needing.

Sorry I didn't include this in my last reply. Look at COLD STEEL hawks and CRKT hawks, especially the CHOGAN.

I would also have to agree with the Schrade SCHFH line of knifes. They have good 1095 steel and decent handles.

Condor Knife & Tool

Yeah I forgot about Condor. They make some good blades for the money

I was aware of them, but didn't look closely until my ill-fated youtube bender. I've seen and handled some and they are impressive tools. Given the price point, they're even more so.

hatchetes are awkward for me compared to a machete, full size or medium ax may serve u better.

The best aize hatchet or mid size imo is the small forest axe. Its perfect. Great chopping power, still very packable and with the right ones sharp enough to skin or do very fine work with choked up on.
