I am actually looking for two knives for SHTF unless someone knows a knife that will handle both tasks. I will say up front that I know very little about knives and I have a headache from trying to sort out all the info on the internet so I am turning to to the experienced and knowledgeable folks here for recommendations.
Knife #1
1) a good survival/fighting knife
2) 7-8 inch blade. Bowie style would be nice but not absolutely necessary.
3) Good steel that will hold an edge and not be too difficult to sharpen
4) Handle of any durable material
5) $75 or less in price
6) Any brand is fine
Knife #2
1) Good hunting knife that will dress out game
2) Good steel that will hold an edge and be fairly easy to sharpen
3) Handle of any material
4) $75 or less
5) Any brand
As I said I know very little about knives so if these guidelines are not realistic please feel free to say so. I just need some expert help figuring out what I need. Thanks for any and all input.
