Best Hunting Knives Under $50

A good hunting knife is an invaluable tool. Best of all, a great hunting knife doesn't necessarily have to break the bank!

The basic qualities I look for in a hunting knife are overall durability, the ability to take and hold an edge, and the ability to be used in inclement weather. (Polished handles for instance may look great, but often become too slippery to hold onto when wet. This is something I avoid having on my knives if possible.) All of the knives listed below are a great choice!

Mora Mil. Knife - Mora is a Swedish military knife widely known in outdoors circles for being affordable and of very high quality - you can pick up a Mora for as low as $15 and as high as $70 or more, depending on what features you're looking for, but their base Army model (~$20) works well in any situation! These knives feature a rubberized handle that doesn't get slippery when wet, so it's great for both hunting and fishing applications!

Ka-Bar/Becker Knives - The Ka-Bar / Becker knife series is a great series of knives for the outdoorsman made in a joint venture between Ka-Bar knives and Becker knives. The Becker BK-11 is a great pocket-size blade, while the camp knife is better suited for heavy duty tasks like batoning through logs.

Ka-Bar USMC Knife - The Ka-Bar USMC knife is a time honored favorite, and any list of knives would simply feel incomplete without it. While this knife normally retails for just over $50, you can usually find one lightly used or on sale new for less.

Gerber Myth Compact - The Gerber Myth Compact is a great all-around light task knife well-suited for dressing smaller game, preparing food, carving, and many other tasks. Best of all, it retails for under $30 which puts it well below our $50 budget.

There are many other knives out there that fit the bill, but these are the best ones I have found so far. If you know of more, please feel free to leave a comment and let us know!
