Fixed blade knife recommendation under 50.

[jaxthedog]

I have several good knives.
But looking for one that holds an edge longer/better than what I have.
This will mostly be for cleaning & skinning game.
I'd like a nice looking handle - not black zytel or plastic.
I have;
- Winchester 3 blade folder - knife ,gut hook and saw.
- cold steel Pendleton lite hunter.
- case ridge back ( that I can't find ).
Plus several folders - cold steel - spyderco - gerbers.

Is it possible to get a good damascus blade around / under 50 bucks ?
I see some on amazon but with only 1 review each I'm leary of fakes.
Fox n hound , leather-n-dagger , Szco supplies. ?????
Open to suggestions.
Thanks !

Moore Maker has some great knives. Not sure they use Damscus steel though. Made in Matador, Tx.

I have a few Fox n´ Hound Damascus. They seem pretty well made but haven't used one to clean anything so I can't tell you about how they hold an edge.

maybe Kershaw

Any cheap damascus blade is going to most likely be Pakistan made and not quality steel.

I was skeptical at the outside edge flip-n-zip at first but it's a great knife and holds edge well! Think they are $49 at BPS right now.
