There is a search function on the forum. Seek and Ye shall find. As for stalking, quietly and slowly. Get out and try, practice practice practice, you'll soon find out what doesn't work.

Hard to go past any of the knives used at the works. 30-40 bucks and easy to sharpen. Victronox, victory etc. Green river still bloody good as well. Or go real cheap and get a Bahco, cut like a razor...

Plus one for the bahco the colour makes them difficult to loose. For a folder mercators are hard to beat. A bit thin in the handle but will do everything.

I use a mercator (make sure if you get one, its a genuine one not a copy)

for a cheap on the hill knife you could do a lot worse than a bahco about $10 each and you won't cry if you loose it too, just gotta sharpen it a bit more often than some of the high end knives
