Recommend me a two good knives.

[NikolaTesla]

I'd like to buy two knives, a fixed blade around ("4-.4.5") that is preferably made from good carbon steel, with a smooth cutting edge. And the second would be a folding knife for work, with also again good steel but more corrosion resistant, about 3-4" in length, I'd very much like the knife if it was colorful, thanks!

My budget is around £30-£65. Cheers!

Joker pocket knife.
Mora.
Well within budget

 

[Albus Culter]

Joker gets my vote too. Great knives. I prefer the wood handle but if you want colourful they do a candy stripe model

Mora is the industry standard for cheap bushcraft knife. Amazingly sharp and do the job well. Lots of models to pick from too.

A mora and a SAK

I'd go for a Mora and a sloyd carving knife for whittling. Probably enough change to add a cheap Frosts Crook knife to the mix.

With a bit to tlc you can get a great edge on the Sloyd and the crook knife.

Fixed blade I'd personally go for the Mora Companion Heavy Duty with a 3.2mm thick blade

For the folder I'd choose either an SAK or a Joker

 

[Hibrion]

How about a mora companion and a leatherman sidekick. There is a good blade on the sidekick and the other tools come in handy too. Still leaves you a few quid under budget.

You say for work, what do you do?

I cut quite a lot of plasterboard and DPC (often against concrete) at work so a Stanley knife with disposable blades is by far the most practical option.

Other peoples jobs might mean they cut a lot of parcels open where the blade doesn't get anything like as hard a time and a proper knife might be better suited.

 

[Tat2trev]

I would say mora companion heavy duty or mora 2000 and a svord peasant mini or normal.

Mora Heavy Duty Companion Knife - 3.2mm Carbon Steel Blade - Orange
To my mind, this is easily the best bustcraft knife if your budget is up to £100.

Spyderco Byrd Tern UK Pen Knife - EDC
This little knife will resist most chemicals, humidity and abuse and not hold any nasties from food prep (Though nor will the Mora).

I'd pay £65 for 1 and £65 for another, so really budget of £130.

I have a Mora companion (they are excellent knives), I would like to have something with a little more finesse.

And believe it or not I work as a fabricator welder, but I also get alot of other "odd jobs" at work, everyday I need to use a knife, but the only knives we have in work, are stanley blades, and people cut on metal tables with them so they are really blunt. I'll also use the knives outdoors when I go camping (overdue now for a night or two out).

I very much like the look of ESEE and Fallkniven knives, I like a more modern look, but also like the original bushcraft knife look. As for the fixed blade is the Condor Bushlore good?
