Gerber Prodigy Survival/Combat Knife

"Look no further. You won't find a more bombproof, versatile, well-made (USA) knife at this price point. I've tried many similar knives by other well-known manufacturers, and I keep coming back to the Prodigy. Size and balance are just right. Great quality steel that retains a very nice edge. Good grip. The sheath is well-made without being overkill.

No, it won't fell a tree, but I've never felt that that should be the test of a survival knife anyway. This will do anything else quite well, though, and for a price that won't make you think twice about beating the heck out of it. Trust me - it will stand up to extensive abuse."
