So I have 100.00 saved up and need a heavy duty fixed blade knife for hunting/camping any thoughts?

The most popular reply you're going to get is either a Becker BK2 or BK7, and for good reason, they are solid knives. Ontario Knives also run just under that price range. They are comparable but do not carry the lifetime warranty that Esee does, nor the same sheath quality, if that matters (this is just my opinion). Another that may be worthy of your consideration might include the Condor Rodan (you could almost get 4 for that price).

I would say save up a few more dollars and get the knife you really want. If you're going to spend that much money, don't settle. I recently picked up an Esee 6 and I love it.

The KaBar MK1 is pretty handy

The good ole Marine KaBar or one of the newer styles are good

It's already been mentioned but the Buck 119 is great deal too.

Another good batch of knives will be released from Becker in about a month or so. This thread has info on them.

Whatever you decide on, just remember, you can do more with a bigger knife than you can do with a smaller knife. I'm ready for the flames, so fire away. Short of fine, detailed work, a bigger knife is more versatile. BTW, think more than ONE knife. Big or small... or even in between, no one knife can do everything a knife is called on to do. JMHO.

I've never seen one "in the flesh" myself, but I've read a lot of positive reviews about them, and the price isn't really much more than a lot of Chinese knives. I'll probably buy one eventually. However, having a long, narrow blade may not be ideal for some tasks, so keep some room in your budget for a knife suited to more detailed, delicate cutting.
