some may laugh at me but the knife I actually carry on me lately is one of these https://www.lowes.com/pd/Outdoor-Edg...8EVw&gclsrc=ds Allways sharp and I carry a couple extra blades in the glove box of the jeep and pickup in case its ever needed. Ive gutted 3 deer in one night with the same blade and it still did great. Obviously razor sharp and a wicked self defense knife and it doesn't cost a 100 bucks. Don't get me wrong I still love a good knife but these are handy for most work and ive screwed up and snapped the blades off a few expensive knives in my life and these things are throw aways.
