redial Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) £50, max. Not looking to live in the woods for a week or carve out a canoe and escape. Just something reliable in the field and garden. Wooden handle preferred. Thanks very much. Edited May 4, 2020 by redial Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 I have always been very happy with my Winchester. Inexpensive, heavyish and seems to take a good edge. Half what you want to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give another vote for Mora. Great knives and brilliant value for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPP Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Mora is good, but if you want a wooden handle i'd look at the Boker magnum at about £25, excellent knives for the money i have one and bought 2 friends one for bdays and all going well, leather sheath too which is hangs onto the knife better than my moras, good knife for the extra £10 or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob525 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) I agree. The bokers a great knife I've had one for over a year now and it holds a very sharp edge 1 hour ago, PPP said: Mora is good, but if you want a wooden handle i'd look at the Boker magnum at about £25, excellent knives for the money i have one and bought 2 friends one for bdays and all going well, leather sheath too which is hangs onto the knife better than my moras, good knife for the extra £10 or so Edited May 5, 2020 by Rob525 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord v Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 I would say the Boker as well. I have a couple of Moras and while they deliver excellent bang for buck I do prefer the Boker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I think I might have to ha e one of those off you fatchap! When I finally get back to work and get some money again that is. Selling my body on street corners doesn't seem to be working, doesn't help finding corners to stand on when you live on a straight country lane 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have expanded the range a bit lately. They make a fixed blade 'cheese knife' which has a very similar blade profile to the original folders. No sheath for it though. Bit of an odd thing to my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
