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

[@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.

[@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.

[@NefariousTribe]

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

[@gideonstactical]

I’ve got my hands on a few more of those

[@NefariousTribe]

@@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.

[@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.

[@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 !

[@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.

[@luisarellanorn3309]

Great vid....no salesmanship. Straight and informative. Thank you

[@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.

[@jamesg9100]

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

[@IIDASHII]

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

[@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.

[@KepmukNesshart]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

Thanks for the overview! I love the Terrasaur, it's a great value. Not as nicely finished maybe as the Mora Garberg, but $30 less and does a good job; has a sharp 90 degree spine for a firesteel. 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. It must have been a while since your last overview, as Buck 119's are getting up there now, especially if you get one with other than a black handle and upgraded steel. Thanks again for the review. 👍

[@fgallogallo7]

I have both of the old Hickory’s that I bring camping. Also love the Kansbol it’s the one I have on my hip when I’m camping. For rough use The SRK .Keep in mind at base camp we always have an ax and hatchet. Awesome video you and your family stay safe out there.

[@toddruch2744]

I’ve had the old hickory for more than 40 yrs though I needed to put a new handle on it 20 ish years ago. Easy to sharpen and works well, I have 3 Mora knives, I keep in my back pack, EDC bag, and in my truck as an as needed knife, worth the money..

[@robbyglassco534]

was fixing to buy a morakniv garberg or civivi tamashii ii ....glad to stumble across this video! ordering the cold steel drop forged hunter,Thanks man!

[@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...

[@keithwyrick8906]

Great video! Ordered the Condor Terrasaur and picked up an Amalgam as well, looking forward to checking them out!

[@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.

[@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...

[@jimzee6954]

Great work on this video! Thanks for your hard work keeping us informed. You covered all the knives I use. Only knife I don't have is Condor knives. Did you ever do a video on the Mora Pathfinder? Once again thanks for your hard work in doing the reviews and information videos!

[@bobjohnson1633]

Old hickory is really really good. It's so hard to beat thin 1095. Working in a kitchen, they were my go to knives.

[@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.

[@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.

[@tigerpisces5506]

[@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

[@markmcgarry8543]

This is my favourite video, I look forward to this every year!

[@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

[@bobwampler3387]

Can’t complain at all about all of these as solid choices for under $50, as I have almost all of them.😁 I don’t have the two Condor choices you mentioned, but I have similar Condors that I own.

[@gregbarry5875]

I was hoping to see the Condor Bushlore. Great video!! Thanks!!

[@staceyroberts9177]

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.

[@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 😀

[@Marcus_TAZ_Davis]

Thank you for this great video I’m tuning in in 2024

[@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.

[@matthewadler1329]

You do great lists Aaron. You should do more of them! I would like to do a project with one of those old hickory knives.

[@GarlicMonoxide]

terava jaakaaripuukko....or however you spell the thing. hands down best knife ive ever owned. great video by the way, you covered some good stuff.

[@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.

[@anangryranger]

Well thought out study of the knives in this price range. Thanks for the review/study of your top pics. Amazing in that of the knives featured in your presentation, I own as well. The Cold Steel SRK and SRK Compact, and the incredible Morakniv Kansbol. Our tastes are very similar here. And I own more great knives that didn't break the bank buying, but if I were to choose just one, the Morakniv Kansbol tops the list.

[@shastaham7630]

Great list. I would be happy with any of these (I have both SRK'S). My favorites are still the Condor Bushlore and Kephart, in spite of the fact that they're only 1075 steel. Actually, my most carried fixed blade knife doesn't fit your 4-6" criteria. It's the 3" Bushlore Mini.

[@ExhumedTornado]

I found my "perfect" tactical EDC knive. Böker Magnum - Life Knife. The 440A steel is okay. Normal at 40€ price but i got it for 27€. Flat handle, good grip, good edge. For bushcraft i use a a real steel bushcraft with a scandy cut.

[@akejohansson2860]

Drop forged is my apocalypse knife😁 i wrapped the handle with some bicycle tube👍 works!

[@getsmart3701]

My favorites are definitly the: Mora 2000, Kansbol, Bushcraft Black/Orange, Robust (Bushcraft and Robust are indestructable) or the less mentioned but nearly as good (but probably tougher) Hultafors OK1/OK4/GK (all the Hultafors knives are indestructable) knives. Of this lot the Kansbol is the dearest by quiet a bit. All excellent.

[@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.

[@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.

[@seribas]

I’ve got a couple $7 butcher knives by forgecraft I really enjoy. These days I find myself with a nessmuk type setup with a hatchet butcher knife and folding stockman knife for whittling and actual wood work

[@brandonhoward4944]

I have had this knife had had this knife for many years but the Case xx is an amazing blade and I have used it for everything

[@mudsslinger]

great video as always , could you do test on the Swis tech knives that Wal-mart is going to be carrying now, 08 steel knives and multi tool

[@scribebat]

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.

[@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.

[@The4cp]

Wilson tennis racquet wrap works wonders for an inpronto handle. Can even beef up thinner handles and make better ergos.

[@scottcetnar8043]

Aaron, For under the 50 bucks ,I would mention the Joker Arrui, joker Pantera, and definitely the Joker Montes. The Montes is one bad ass blade. I think Amazon is selling the Montes for just over 50 bucks and is coming in at between 51 and 55 based on handle styles.

[@albsureinc23]

Currently you can get a sog seal pup for around $44 on Amazon... also cold steel kobun as well. .good value for the money

[@ApocGuy]

Love my 5.5 OHC, its EDC for year now (it replaced Mora Robust). hard to beat Mora (maybe puukko) in knives under 50.

[@jacobyeo4315]

Gerber Prodigy definitely a hit with me. It's still in my wishlist for a reliable fixed blade. By the way, I love your review of it a few years back. Thank you Aaron, and keep doing the good job. God bless you all.

[@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

[@totallyrandomstuffandrevie9609]

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

[@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.

[@CptUhudini]

Hey man! Love your videos! Could you test the Wolfgangs Ambulo? Wolfgangs is a german company, seems like a pretty great knife and was specifically designed for bushcrafting

[@Marcobuck]

I use the SRK with SK5 steel and the Mora companion HD. Always good

[@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.

[@CrimsonCrux]

I own every knife featured bar the Old Hickory purely because they're decent general use knives that I can replace easily without a 2 year lead time if they break to supplement my more expensive ones. I'll echo the sentiment about Condor's quality control being hit or miss but weirdly out of all the blades I own, the edge on Condor's Operator Bowie lent itself to being a fantastic wood processor and camp task knife for me. Opinels will and forever always be my food prep knives and they're cheap as hell. I've heard and seen nothing but good things about Terava's line up which, while a little but pricier than what's shown here (but well under 100 dollars), would still be considered by most to be excellent budget camp tools. In my opinion the Cold Steel SRK dominates the sub $50 field in terms of an excellent jack of all trades knife.

Milwaukee tools tradesman 4in $25 I've beaten the piss out of this knife and barely had to sharpen it. Only reason it's not on me now is I am trying the Milwaukee hardline 5in AUS, haven't had time to get out to the woods yet with this one.

Is the Cold Steel G.I. Tanto still in production? It was generally on the inexpensive side, and just a massive chunk of steel...I bought mine as a close out many years ago with no scales for 8 dollars...yup...8 bucks....

I am taking cold steel hunter instead of bk16 - less than half of the price. Good choice?

[@waynesmallwood6027]

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

Great video. I was surprised the BPS ADVENTURER didn't make the list. It's the only fixed blade knife that I've ever preferred over my USMC issue Ka-Bar. The BPS is about $40 and is my absolute favorite.

[@richardhenry1969]

Same here I’m a big fan of BPS knives.

All there knives are great value and built tough.

[@brianm5637]

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.

The Kansbol is hard to beat. The Pathfinder is not a bad knife either, the sheath is rubbish but the 6” blade can be handy.

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

[@lordfairfaxpreparedness]

Moras are always a great choice. I have had some decent luck with my Camillus that I picked up at Wally World. I haven't done alot of HAR testing yet but I have done some batoning and food prep and basic "camp chores" showing my boys how to make tent stakes from fallen branches. Not a bad little knife

12c27 is a stupid good steel for $15. I'll use it for prying or doing drywall, the. Sharpen it back and it's good to go.
