There's a thread running for a Mora £10 deliverd! Enough said!

I don't think you can wrong with a Vanguard, then again I have got a Mora, and for the price it's hard to beat.
You pays your money and take your choice.

Mora knives you cant go wrong i got mine from Bushwear £4.99, easy to sharpen and if you loose it you can get another cheap enough ! Plenty of fancy expensive knives out there depends what you want from it they all do the same job

EKA swingblade is great. Knife & a perfect zipper in one.

 

[Munty Hunter]

Keep it simple and cheap.
Mate had a Mora for couple of years was given a fancy/expensive knife and promptly lost it.

Mora are superb and cheap enough to use plus the sheath clip is very handy too , and you can fully clean them

 

[bucktail]

Mora all the knife you will need.

Seems that it comes down to what you can afford to loose. I've lost a few good knifes over the years now use a Sog. Aegis

Buck Diamondback is the one to get, cheap and excellent rubbergrip Strong thick blade,gut hook, takes a reasonable edge, dish washer safe. Black only so can be lost.

Approx £25 in my view money very well spent.

EKA all the way swingblade or w11 holds an edge like youve never seen :http://www.thebushcraftstore.co.uk/eka-nordic-w11-bushcraft-knife-70-p.aspcheap for a life long purchase

Started using a Puma after a friend gave me one recently, great knife & holds a really good edge... well worth the money.

 

[sebrobinson]

great choice with the Mora top bit of kit for the price!

Fallkniven H1 a knife for life (as long as you dont lose it).
Pumas are also terrific as in balance ergonomics etc, it depends what youa re after. I have a buck vanguard with gut hook somewhere. takes a good edge (as all 440c does) but it is a bit bulky for roe IHMO. buy from states where they are $50

The Kershaw antelope hunter is a better value knife or similar design

It's the dogs danglies
