I'm looking for a budget fixed blade(around $50) to stash in a get home bag. I plan on upgrading at some point, but I need something to put in the bag for now. Anybody have any recommendations?
If you want something heavy duty and big enough to handle a lot of different tasks, try the Schrade fixed blades made from 1095.
Here is a good one with a MSRP of $50, but you can get it for less most places: Schrade Frontier Full Tang Drop Point Fixed Blade Knife - Taylor Brands
Must of had Chinese for lunch.

Okay, I have been educated. There is a US-made, sturdy fixed blade in the $50 range: Gerber Prodigy.
You can get one for about $55 from Knife Lady/Bradsknives.

Yikes! Don't know why I didn't think of Mora! Great value!

I ordered a Mora off of Amazon today for $25. Looks like a solid blade! Thanks for the recommendations!
