That CS 1 is very nice. I have the M1 or M4 (never remember which) of that AK47 bayonet, very similar but found it a lot nicer. Got mine from Global Gear for $55 delivered new and is super sharp.

Will throw up a pic of the latest hunter / skinner I bought last week and waiting on being delivered

The CS is my first choice but the bayonet apparently is from romania so it may or maynot have been usued in actual duty which is pretty cool I rekon lol

@OD... remember that knife I missed out on? I didn't the 2nd time.

If you want an all round knife, you will need to look at a full tang knife as they stronger and more durable.

There are tons on flea bay that you get delivered for less than $30 but whether it is suitable for you only you can answer.

Some good examples are Winchester, M-Tech, Elk Ridge, Colombia / Sanjia (not CRKT) to name a few.

I have all the above brands plus many others as well.

Have a look through this thread and flea bay and post up the links and we can certainly let you know about them.

Also , do not discount the X-Tactical brand knives from Anaconda, they do bring out some good all purpose knives.

1 of my favourites is an X-Tactical field knife on special I got for $35 (normally $100) that permanently stays in the drawers of my troll and goes everywhere. Have even tweaked the sheath to hold a decent sharpening stone, small led torch, flint stick with striker and button compass, a Buck Bantam Stealth pocket knife, leg strap and approximately 30ft of 550 paracord and small signal mirror. This knife is able to do almost anything except use as a paddle lol.

It seems anaconda isnt selling the X-Tactical anymore. But I found these two knives, the handles look cheap so I am unsure if they are very durable but maybe somebody has an opinion .

The local Anaconda near us still sell the XTactical gear as it is owned by Anaconda.

1st knife "appears" OK but crap sheath and crap serrations on the back.

The 2nd is utter rubbish, I bought 1 and it is flimsy, handle hilt breaks apart and only good for show, not a practical knife to use in general.

Gecko - you bastardo on getting that knife
