5 Best Fixed Blades Under $50 2022 Update ~ SURVIVAL/BUSHCRAFT/HUNTING/CAMPING/EDC

[@jock-of-ages73]

The Cold Steel Finn Hawk fits right in this category, for £20ish, probably less in the US, Scandi grind, 4" blade, built like a Mora and imo it's Cold Steels version of a Mora. The Finn Bear is also similar and there's the bushcraft folder,the Finn Wolf, but this is fixed blades. All good alternatives if you're on a budget, and if you like knives with Finn in the name.

[@BrianWashington-jc6ig]

I usually try to find some cons to go along with the pros.. kzbin.infoUgkxnkYCgssg4ZO858cyBdD1JPEaUJ9Up1C_ but it really is a good knife. The blade sits centered in the handle when closed (photo added). It opens effortlessly. Unlocks and closes easily with one hand. It’s a great size for EDC. I wish this exact knife came in one of the premium steels to satisfy the knife snob in me.. but it’s a great tool at a great price as it is. Would buy again.

[@kennethkrieb3018]

Great video Aaron. In 5 years from now, you may not be able to make a ‘5 best fixed blades for under $50’ video. If you did, it may be ‘which Mora Companion color is best for under $50’. Keep up the good work. I always look forward to seeing your videos.

[@MrJonrocker]

Agreed. We will have videos like "best razor blade" for under $50 the way prices are going.

[@kennethkrieb3018]

Good point. Perhaps 5 months, not 5 years.

[@jonh2119]

Mora Pro Robust. Cheap, handy, does not break. And using that logic, you can buy two. ...in case one breaks! 😉

[@sobxscooter8157]

The Glock field knife has served me well for 40+ years. I paid $15 for the original FM81 but they are still available today for $35. Thanks for getting a great list together 👍

[@DL-ij7tf]

Yeah good call, they're a great knife especially as a lightweight "combat" knife. I got one on sale for $25 recently (birthday discount on MidwayUSA). I suppose if his list was meant for more outdoors/belt/companion knife maybe he left the more combat-marketed ones out. The Ontario SP-1 isn't bad for $40 although it's a little bigger and I had to pretty much regrind the edge on mine entirely. There are so many good knives for cheap and despite whatever marketing comes with them, at the end of the day most knives will do most knife tasks pretty well.

[@hildolfrdraugadrottin7279]

That's a decent blade after you sharpen it. I think I paid around 35 for mine. Still worth the money imo.

[@mattatreagen]

I came to say Glock field knife is worth mentioning. An absolute beast

[@MB-jg4tr]

The Glock model 78 without root saw is a better tool.

[@DL-ij7tf]

@@MB-jg4tr I searched but couldn't find them for sale anywhere anymore. Discontinued. I heard they were discontinuing the sawback as well.

[@brianmiller6055]

I would add the Dexter Russell Green River knives to the list. They can be found for under $20 without a sheath. In my experience, they will give the Old Hickory knives a run for their money in use.

[@DL-ij7tf]

Sam from the survival show Alone used one of those. Such a rudimentary knife for a serious use but it didn't hold him back

[@fgallogallo7]

Excellent knife. I always bring one along with me camping. Also one in my knife drawer at my house. 👍 USA made as well.

[@johngennusa1317]

They use 1095 steel for the same price point as an old hickory. I just bought the hunter and purchased a BPS knives leather sheath for around $35

[@JAB671]

I bought one of the Russell Green River knives from a vendor at a '17th Century Trade Faire' at Fort Loudoun a few years back and he let me read some materials about the history of the knife. The Russell company has been around for about 300 years now and their Green River pattern (eventually copied by other makers) was one of their most popular trade knives - meaning it was used likely by many fur trappers/traders and mountain-man types. Those folks depended on their knives every day. They aren't really heavy use knives but the relatively thin blade can easily be made razor sharp. Unfortunately some lowlife scumbag broke in and stole mine along with several of my knives. I have been replacing some of the stolen ones and exploring new ones but will eventually replace it.

[@MB-jg4tr]

Yep Dexter Russel 4215 knife is awesome. Their "sheath" knife, a mini butcher style blade also.

[@terrell48]

Thank you It seems all the other knife you tubers can only show knives that are in the 100-500 price range I have found these knives under $60 are very good and work very well

[@jez76]

For anyone interested in doing their own sheath or handles, the Terävä Jääkeripukko is available without sheath at less than 50 bucks or bare tang versions at less than 40. With sheaths (which really are premium stuff) the whole kit comes in at around 75-85 USD.m depending on size. Really great knifes from Finland, and an interesting alternative to it’s Scandinavian neighbours, Mora.

[@tigerpisces5506]

I wish the Finnish Terävä Jääkeripukko was sold in the USA. That international shipping is a deal killer.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

Yes it’s a great knife! Also keep in mind that the leather sheath is so thick and high quality that it will probably last through several repurchases of the knife, unless you happen to be rough on your sheaths. My pukko was pretty cosmetically beaten up after 3 years of hard use so I decided to replace it. Popped the new knife in the sheath I still had. Good to go.

[@scribebat]

i was just by their web site. Add the $12.50 min. shipping to US and you're over the $50 point.

[@NefariousTribe]

Anything made by BPS , you can get 2 for $50 with leather sheaths. The 1066 holds up better than you would expect.

@@gideonstactical so far I have the HK1S and The Adventurer, looking to get a few more

[@nitrorc4life1]

They are not bad, I might pick up another.

[@seribas]

My only complaint is my fit and finish on the handle wasn’t very good but man that’s a hard to find gripe for that knife. Been very impressed with how well it’s stood up. Not crazy about having my ferro rod on the sheath but that’s an easy fix. Very consistent grind, steel holds up well after a patina builds.

[@NefariousTribe]

​@@seribasI remove the handles and clean them up with sandpaper and then treat them with a few rounds of food grade mineral oil, which I also use on the blades. Works great so far.

[@n9oqu]

The mora companion HD is a great alternative for under 30 dollars. Good handle, great “carbon or Stainless” steel. The carbon steel is so easy to hone back to a great edge.

[@thomasmaloney843]

All else fails, there is always the Mora 511. Actually a decent knife for what it is. Agree with your statement of the Kansbol. MORA 2000 has a better handle, but rounded spine. MORA Bushcraft Forest is decent if you want a more tactical handle.

[@ratslayer110]

For the money, Mora is a good knife. They take a beating

[@MB-jg4tr]

I prefer the Mora2000

[@davidberry6046]

I bought my Gerber Prodigy late last year at Wally World for $49.98. I just checked the other day at the knife counter, and they now go for 62.98, and that's in Cheyenne, Wyoming, so you're right about prices. I didn't know it had gone up that much. I do agree with you that it is a great knife for what I got it for, and one of the best knives I've ever owned.

[@dlrmon1]

The $50. range has to be getting tough. The budget camp/survival blades I still have stashed in vehicles etc. are Schrade knives. The ones that survived testing for me are: Schf3n, Schf38 and the Schf2 I believe, (5” hollow handle) if it’s still available...

[@IIDASHII]

The Mora Kansbol is the knife in every one of my survival kits. Awesome knife, and not just for the price.

[@papimaximus95]

Gerber Ultimate at about $36 everywhere. Great all around field/camp knife. Plus the sheath is excellent and comes with a ferro rod and sharpener.

[@ElShov]

Last year I bought a Camillus 9.5 to go for my summer season in Alaska (didn't want to travel with one of my "more expensive knives") as a "every day work knife" and I've been surprised... Did all kind of rough stuff with it, and it survived ! Not high quality steel of course, but $10 at Walmart...

[@qui-gone]

Try the Cold Steel Bushman. When I bought it (the drop point, not Bowie), it was 20$ ish and is an excellent wilderness knife. I've carried it to many expeditions in the tropics of India and the coating holds up. Grip is a problem. But you can get some hockey tape / tennis grips for under 5$ and fix that. I love that blade. Easy to sharpen and good at what it does. I have made it a permanent spear to harvest mangoes from my tree 😀

[@jamesreck8476]

I recently purchased the Mora Kansbol and survival kit and swapped out the leather belt loop with a belt clip so I could hang it on sweatpants, swim trunks or whatever and take it off when I climb into the cot at night. Looks to be an excellent camp knife.

[@learnshareevolve1842]

The Schrade SCHF36 (or 51) is a beast! Also, the Light My Fire (Mora?) w firesteel in the end of the handle... I used it (ABUSED! it) for some pretty heavy batonning, etc., and it took it easily, despite not being full-tang.

[@kevinstanley5352]

I bought my wife and me a Gerber freeman guide and we love them👍👍

[@unclebob4964]

Good job on putting together a nice set of budget knives. As always, the Mora collection never ceases to amaze me. The price point for what you get is just marvelous. I knife snob a bit and go White River and some other rather expensive and well made knives……but in EVERY “kit”…….there’s a Mora of some model. They’re just that good !

[@avdmustang]

I know some may laugh but Rough Ryder makes several true full-tang fixed blades for under $50. Far from being the best steel, they’re still very tough and will last forever.

[@radicalcoyote3772]

I'd also recommend the Swiss Tech Stahletn, for 40 bucks the thing is a tank it's in AUS-8 steel and seeing reviews of people tourturing this knife it will keep on trucking.

[@jamesg9100]

Good stuff man 👍 It’d be awesome to see one of these updated best under $50 vids for folders, and choppers!

[@matthewadler1329]

I'm glad you mentioned SK5 being more brittle than one might think when it's ran at a higher HRC. I love the steel, and it's so darn tough, but I think its shines most as a short chopper at around 58 HRC.

[@brianfischer5609]

I bought the SRK because I thought it was going to be a fairly heavy duty knife, but I saw a few torture videos, and I'm not super impressed. I guess I did pay less than 40 bucks, so I can't be mad at it.

[@nitrorc4life1]

I prefere the higher HT, I use my knives to cut and slice, it is NOT a chopping type of knife. I use a large Becker, Esse or Tops etc. for chopping IF my axe/hatchet is not available. The tip IS for delicate/fine work, stop using wrong tool for a job and tips will stop breaking. I cannot remember the last time I broke a knife tip once I learned how to use knives properly andI use the hard at times.

[@DL-ij7tf]

I don't know if I'm happy or ashamed that I have every knife on this list haha. Great list though especially the inclusion of the Drop Forged Hunter which I was seeing on Amazon for $33 for the longest time (maybe still) - that knife doesn't get enough recognition. I'd probably gone with the Bushcraft Black over the Kansbol for general use but yeah the Kansbol can't be beat for low weight and slicing ability. Beats a lot of kitchen knives for food prep. Love the Old Hickory but man do they rust like no other blade I have.

[@KepmukNesshart]

Great video and great list. The Kansbol is my absolute favorite under $50 fixed blade!

[@AWAG_FK]

Great Video! I’m a maker and a steel nerd, but I love the value of Cold Steel knives. I’m so glad you included them and not some junk from SOG. The Real Steel Bushcraft III in D2 is close at $60. I haven’t used one yet, but I’ve been tempted for a while. Keep up the good work.

[@watchcityknives]

I know nowadays this sounds impossible but I’d love to see you do a video the same idea but with knives under $30.00 I’ve recently purchased some from Amazon for less than $20.00. Great super informative videos THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS STAY SAFE

[@RS4393]

Yes, excellent value knife. Give the handle a little sanding and tung oil, and you have a knife and sheathe equal to those going for $100

[@RS4393]

@@brianm5637 after sanding the handle I removed the scales (handle)and used boiled linseed oil to soak them for about 30 minutes. Then wiped the tang down with olive oil before putting them back on. Used locktight on the screws just incase. I keep olive oil in a small bottle to put on the blade after I clean at the end of each trip.

[@bobjones9727]

Three more knives under $50. Cold Steel GI Tanto. Really tough and hard to beat at $25. The Marttiini MFT in G10 with leather sheath at $45. The Schrade SCHF37 in 1095 at $28. All full tang.

Great review. Have you ever reviewed Brisa/Enzo knives. Bought the Necker without knowing anything about them and really like the knife. The only beef I had with it is that the micarta was very slick out of the box but a little sandpaper fixed that. I chose the scandi grind and so far holds a nice edge.

[@steellovingyou8673]

Hi Aaron. I remember back in 2016 watching 4 belt knives under 50 , that video still pops on my suggested videos. I eventually got a steel will 315 and a steel will druid 210 after watching some of your videos on steel will . I got the druid on sale they each cost me $50 but I think the roamer is still $50 . They are both great knives I still have them both . Thanks Sorry I just looked apparently they are no longer in stock anywhere. Sorry . Thanks

[@martinhafner2201]

The BPS HK1S is a full tang, true scandi grind, walnut handle knife with a 4.4 inch blade. It is only 1066, but it claims rockwell 58 or so for about $30 on Amazon. I have a smaller BPS knife in 1066 and it performs fine. The big downside is BPS is in the Ukraine.

[@OwlskiTV]

If the reason it's a downside is cause Ukraine is currently in a war with Russia, then I see it more as purchasing the knife is supporting their country/nation and the people there.

[@martindunwell6099]

Another from Cold Steel, their Kobun makes a surprisingly decent woods knife. Aus8 isn't all that great in edge retention but it's pretty tough. Has a sharp spine, good for scraping or fire steels. You get a 5 inch blade in a very slim, lightweight package, easy to carry. Split wood with it? Sure. Slice up onions, carrots, potatoes? Sure. Skin a deer? Maybe not the best skinner but if you have some meat you need cutting... Cut feather sticks? Sure. Carve tent stakes, digging sticks, pot hangers or fire boards for bow drills? Sure. And looks good doin' it (looks better in person than in the pics). $47.

I was looking at the SRK full size and compact, but already have both a Master Hunter and Trailmaster from CS so figure I'm set there. Finally I'm glad you mentioned the Mora Kansbol. They have a version that comes with an orange sheath with extras on it that I really like and plan to pick up.

[@realbroggo]

In Australia AU$50 buys even less!! If we want something of reasonable quality from a known brand at this price we really only have Moras (Basic/511/Companion) - which are great value knives for general utility/camping/hunting but lack a bit of punch for survival & harder use. However, step up to under AU$100 then we can find similar knives that you have listed. For me I do love my Moras & Condors for general utility/camp/woodcraft use. Also don't be afraid to shop around - stores often have sales on and you can get a bargain (esp. if you're happy to purchase an older release). Stay safe.

Cold steel bushman,inexpensive, tough,versatile. Also kizer harpoon at just over $50, like $60, best bang for the buck k edc fixed blade.

You hit ‘em all bro…!!! Not sure I could think of anything better…,,at that price point…!!

[@barrybueler3356]

I’ll go with the SRK than the other cold steel in 52100 in 2nd place 😜

[@waynesmallwood6027]

Or you can cold blue the blades with Birchwood Casey's Perma Blue (Paste Gun Blue). There's also a liquid, but I strongly recommend the paste. Better results with considerably less mess.

I like the Ukrainian BPS knives for a great value knife.

[@lanaholmes7098]

You just can not beat BPS knives!!!

[@asteiner9181]

Cold steel bushman in SK5 steel 45$ best bang for your buck and u can attach it to a wood shaft for a spear.

[@waynesmallwood6027]

I collect vintage Old Hickory and vintage Schrade from ebay. Great knives, and still 1095 vice 1075. Refurbish and cold blue.

I'd go with the Kansbol, its an epic everything kinda knife. Just picked up a BPS knife for 35 pounds sterling which looks promising but yet to take it out.
