I've recently been considering spending anywhere from $100-$170 on a fixed blade knife. I'm gonna use it for skinning and neat care. Obviously looking to get the most bang for my buck, what's your opinion?
The options I'm considering are
1- Kestrel Mountain Caper. I love the idea of this knife as it's S90V for cheaper ($130) but I don't like how small it is.
2- Kestrel Skeleton Ovis Hunter. Really leaning towards this knife. Seems high quality S35VN for cheap ($110). I like the blade size, length, and thickness. Seems to be about perfect but haven't found a ton of information about it.
3- Esee Izula. This is about as cheap as it goes. ($70) Considering it but doubt full bout it. Seems like a great little knife, similar to the Ovis Hunter?
4-Benchmade. This is a broad sprectrum but open to benchmade. Wouldn't spend more than $200 for a Benchmade. Is their quality better than Kestrel. Is it worth paying premium for the name?
5- Tyto Fannin. This knife intrigues me. Not much out there on it but it seems to be a competitor to Kestrel. Price is relatively decent ($130) and seems to be a quality knife.
These are some of my options. I would love to hear reviews and your opinions on any of knives you have that you would recommend. It's mostly for meat care and working deer/elk but I prefer a little thinker spine.
