Hunting in the wild

RE: Hunting in the wild
As MB said, Mora are an extremely good and durable choice

I UK there are many suppliers. I got my last one from Bushcraft store. Price was around £10 for the SS version

Mora has been making the bushcraft standard for over 100 years.

I could not find a UK supplier but the prices should be about the same as the knife you showed and I would suspect the quality would be better. Here in the states the prices of Moras vary from retail outlets but a basic Mora can be had for $12-$15 from most outlets.

Another suggestion for a general purpose blade would be one of the basic designs of Swiss Army Knife, but keep it simple at first and do not overdo the number of blades chosen. More blades on an SAK often makes the knife bulky without really being useful.

99% of what you do in the woods can be done with a SAK, including processing most small game. I have cleaned several deer with only a simple pocket knife in the past.

Whatever you decide on you had better get it soon because your selections will be trimmed drastically soon I fear. New proposed legislation will strike directly at the retail market first and end the existence of most of your choices.
