A 14C28N full-tang drop point with a Kydex sheath.
We recommend the CVLIFE Full Tang Kydex Knife for campers, hikers, and hunters who want a compact fixed blade at about $48. CVLIFE lists 14C28N stainless steel for edge retention and rust resistance, full-tang construction that runs through the handle, a flat grind with a stonewash finish, and a blade thickness of 0.12 inches. The handle layers Micarta over red G10 with a striped groove pattern for grip in wet or dry conditions, and the Kydex sheath has an adjustable tension screw and attaches to a belt or pack. The kit weighs 6.3 ounces in the box, according to the gallery. It comes in grey or brown. The trade-offs are that CVLIFE lists few dimensions in the page text and that a short blade is not for heavy chopping.

Why we like it.
Stainless that resists rust
14C28N is a stainless steel with good corrosion resistance, which helps when a knife gets wet at camp or on a hunt.
A full tang and a grippy handle
The steel runs the length of the handle, and the Micarta with red G10 liners and striped grooves give a firm hold when wet.
A Kydex sheath that adjusts
The sheath has a tension screw so you can set how tightly the knife is held, and it attaches to a belt or pack.
A few things to consider.
Few dimensions listed
The page does not list blade or overall length, so check size and fit with CVLIFE if length matters to you.
Compact, not a chopper
This is a field and camp knife for cutting, food, and kindling. Use an axe or saw for large wood.
Know your local rules
Laws on fixed-blade carry vary. Keep the knife sheathed and cut away from your body.
