Hello everyone,
This is my first thread created and so I hope this is in the correct place. I'm hoping to gain some knowledge from everyone out there who is probably a lot more intelligent when it comes to fixed blades. I currently collect a good amount of folders (ZT, Spyderco, Benchmade etc.) but have decided to be smarter about how I use my knives, specifically while out camping. I used to use a Kershaw folder for every task but realized this is not efficient and not good for the knife. I don't have a single fixed blade in the collection yet. I want to get myself a good quality fixed blade for camping, specifically to be used for prepping food along with some other tasks. I've narrowed it down to getting a Bark River, as I love the style of these and I have read great things about the quality.
So for those of you out there who own fixed blades including a Bark River and have experience using them out camping or prepping food, which ones are your favorite? I'm looking for one that has a blade steel that can constantly get wet, cleans pretty well and retains a nice edge. I would like the blade to be around 4.5 - 5.5 inches. Price is not really an issue but I would like to keep it under $300.00.
Thanks!
