best knife fir under $100?

[Dbax129]

I'm curious about what your favorite knives are for under $100.  I am thinking of getting a good all around folder in that range.  Field dressing, skinning, shattering, whatever.  Just curious. Thanks!
(and I know I know, I should spend more right?)

NOT me... I carry a Havalon with extra blades and a Buck packlite skinner

I carry a kershaw Alaskan blade trader and a havalon. You can get both well under 100 & you won't need anything else.

After all these years with it, I still like my Buck 110 folder

Gerber gater I have one that's been a loyal hunting companion for well over a decade. Hold an edge for longer than any other knife I've owned. I gutted and skinned three muley bucks on one trip, and never touched a stone to it.

Me too!  Not many things those can't handle.  And combined you'll still have money left over for a burger and a beer!  I carry both the #60 and the #22 blades for the Havalon.


I have to admit, though, I bought the wife a Magnum Ulu from Knives of Alaska ($67) and I'm crazy about that thing!  Amazing how dang fast she is at skinning elk and how flawless her work is.  It is a PITA to sharpen, but I may get myself one in the future!  Tired of her showing me up

I have 6 or 8 Buck 110's and a Schrade version. They are about all I have carried for the past 40 years and have used them a lot.  I am considering trying a Havalon though.  I like the changeable blade thing.

The new Outdoor edge knives are very nice for doing what you want. Like the Havalon, which I have, they're razor sharp with replaceable blades. Unlike the Havalon, the blades are heavier-duty and replacement is easier, not requiring a pair of pliers/multitool to change the blades. Had I not already received a Havalon, I would get one of those.

The Havalon is the best knife to have in the back country if you plan to cape your animal saves alot of time and much easier to cape the head than using a skinner where its tough to get into the small places without whacking holes in the cape.

I agree with the havalon. I have a buck and a benchmade and a cutco (nonserrated) with gut hook. Also a damascus that my dad made. When im hunting i always have the hqvalon and one of the others... theres nothing that needs done you cant do with the havalon or other knife.

Kershaw for me with the interchangeable blades. I have a little sharpener that I carry with me and 2-3 swipes every few minutes and its sharp as new.

Rapala 6" fillet knife with the mini red crock sticks for sharpening.

Never, ever take a knife hunting that you purchased.  Only take a knife that was given to you or that you traded for.   

A "Knives of Alaska, Elk Hunter" has been good for me.
