Camping knife

Hey there. Seems like it's getting quite usual to me going camping lately, so a friend of mine, who's also a botanist, got interested in camping knives in order to accomplish any of his tasks (which can either be cutting mushrooms and plants or chopping down little trees). So he is looking for a nice sharp and thick knife. Also not too expensive, which means (I guess) not over 50 euros/dollars. I'm not the best at camping knives as I'm mainly a kitchen knife user. Do you know any good and reliable camping knife? I'm asking you guys cause I know you have much more experience than me

Any help is really appreciated! Thanks

Mora?

 

I second trying a mora, they're cheap, very sharp ootb and cuts pretty well. Cheap enough to not feel bad about abusing them also, if you're so inclined

 

I know the Mora's are great value, but most I've seen have somewhat thin blades. When I was a scout, this was the knife we lusted after. Still made in the USA and has a forever warranty. If 6" is too big, they come in other sizes. I'm a fan of the Woodlore knife, but you won't be finding one for less than $50 I wager.
