Pretty decent deal on USA made KA-BAR. Seemingly the same specs as the more common USMC.
Free shipping at $75+, otherwise $6.99.

If you think you might need to process a firewood while camping - do not get a machete, just get a small maul and maybe a string saw. Finally, if you do crafts or need to cut blister packs - get a folding box knife as your second knife. These two should cover 98% of your cutting and camp wood chopping needs. The remaining 2% is a hobby use that may or may not require a specialized blade.
PS anyone need some battery acid? Dont have a use for it but I'll buy anything made in the USA.

I've had a custom-made military-grade knife for a couple of years that I took everywhere and even tried using for house chores. It was very nice to look at and sharpen to a razor blade as a way to relieve stress. It was terrible at just about anything else though - too wide to peel fruits and veggies comfortably, too thick to cut food, to cumbersome to hold, too short to be effective working with a firewood. I did like the awl part of it, but just found myself reaching for a kitchen knife for most tasks. A basic kitchen knife is just so much more comfortable. It also packs about the same if you go camping or backpacking.
These military-style knives make too many compromises to be a universal tool. And like most universal tools - the do not serve any purpose particularly well. Heck, they even fail as a fighting tool as indicated by a military guy above

I always thought of the Moraknivs as a super sharp steak knife with a grippy handle. I would not say they are military style. The sheaths are a bit clunky though.

Personally, I prefer a relatively thin blade made of a thin high-quality steel. This usually pushes the price up, but makes it that much more enjoyable due to the sharper grounding and less effort when cutting and peeling (a thinner blade is easier to push through an object). We also have a few of 'Calphalon Contemporary' (also discontinued) https://us.amazon.com/Calphalon-C...B00007IT31 which is basically the same knife as the other one I linked, but with a slightly meatier blade (due to lower quality of steel). They are by far the least used knives in the drawer - everyone just hate them

I have the USMC Ka-Bar with Kydex Sheath but I might buy this USSF too. You can never have enough knives
