Top 10 budget survival knives

The Mora Robust is, as the name might already suggest, a robust fixed knife. The blade is a little thicker than that of other Mora knives which makes it perfect for the more demanding activities. As you might have guessed, survival! The rubber handle also feels great in hand and offers you enough grip. Even in the harshest and most humid situations.

The underdog in this top 10 is the Böker Plus Outdoorsman. Don't underestimate this knife. For a great price you receive a great type of steel, a rubber handle with a lot of grip and a decent sheath to carry the knife in. At the end of the handle a part of the steel tang is sticking out. You can use this part as an improvised hammer. Incredibly practical!

The Mora Kansbol is a famous knife in the outdoor world. Striking is the grind on the blade. From the handle the blade is approximately 2.4 mm thick. Halfway through, however, the blade becomes thinner until the end towards a thickness of 1.0 mm at the tip. As such the Kansbol is a little lighter, but because of the thicker part at the end of the blade still incredibly strong. Not great for the more demanding tasks such as batoning wood, but definitely a knife that shouldn't be missing from this list.

The Hultafors OK4 Outdoor Knife is a popular fixed bushcraft knife. It looks like the Craftsman's Knife GH knife but is optimized for outdoor use. The black coating protects the carbon-steel blade from rust. The spine of the blade is sharpened to make sure using a firesteel is a piece of cake.

The Condor Bushglider Knife is a versatile and affordable outdoor knife, designed by Joe Flowers. Its shape makes it perfect for many common bushcraft tasks, but also when hunting. From amateur bushcraft enthusiasts to advanced hunters: the Condor Bushglider can be used by everyone.

The Smith & Wesson M&P Special Ops Ultimate Survival Knife is a cool survival knife for an amazing price. For the design the company became inspired by the survival knives that were used by American soldiers during the Second World War. This one, however, is made from modern materials.
