So my 0.02 - here are the outdoor fixed blades I use, well except for the Buck.
Over 30 or so years ago I saved up to buy the Buck 120 on the top. Growing up in N NV it was with me anytime I was hunting, fishing, camping. I broke down many mule deer, trout, white fish. Prepped for fire, beat it up.... Then I discovered Mora. The companion took the place of the buck and for the next 15 years or so that was it. And really Mora’s are hard to beat for a fixed blade hunting/camping tool. 2nd from the top is what I bought when I was at a time when’re I felt I needed a “nicer” more expensive knife (Benchmade bushcraft). It is what I use (with a Havalon) for caribou and sheep hunting. 3rd down Spyderco salt is my go to for trips to Hawaii. However the bottom Mora Pro S (companion is above that) is my go to outdoor knife, and I could buy over 20 of them for the price of the Benchmade.
