Know yourself and what you want before you purchase your knife

A knife is a tool and it can be very specific and very personal to each person.

Knife laws very from state to state so you want to make sure you research on your your stuff.

Classic fixed blade knife is usually your general knife of choice something like Gerber Strong Arm which is a full fixed blade knife.

Rule of thumb with, S30 V blade is going to out perform from an edge retention over a 420 High carbon Steal blade when using in the field.

You want to keep you eye out for the progression of edge retention and rockwell hardness
