We recommend the BPS Knives Stingray for campers and hikers who want a dependable fixed blade at a fair price. Price $119.99; $107.99 with code SEBASTIANBASSOL (10% off). Best for hunters and campers who want a thick, tough D2 fixed blade with a MOLLE-ready sheath.
A 4mm D2 fixed blade by Ray Laconico with a spare handle.
We recommend the BPS Knives Stingray for campers and hikers who want a dependable fixed blade at a fair price. BPS lists a D2 blade at 59 to 61 HRC, an overall length of 240 mm (9.4 in) and a 115 mm (4.5 in) blade, 4 mm (0.16 in) thick, a Micarta with a spare handle handle, and a Cordura sheath with MOLLE. It is made in Ukraine, BPS states a lifetime warranty, and it costs $119.99 (list $130.00). D2 holds an edge well and should be dried after wet use. The trade-offs are that it is a modest-size blade, not a chopper, and that you should follow local rules on carrying it.

A sheath in the box

A few things to consider.
Know the limits

Care for the steel
Wipe the knife dry after use. D2 holds an edge well and should be dried after wet use.
Know your local rules
Follow local laws on carrying fixed-blade knives, cut away from your body, and keep the knife sheathed when not in use.
