I was wondering if anybody could recommend a bushcraft knife that is well-made and also affordable around the $70 range or less recommendations are much appreciated

Update?

Let us know which one you bought and how you liked it.

Probably late to the party but one more vote for the Kbar USMC. My youngest brother always carries one and it's an awesome camping knife.
I also like the Becker Kbar knives, I've had one of those for a while, the BK2. It is very chunky, not a problem but if I were to purchase a replacement it may be something trimmer like an Ontario Rat5.
And another +1 for the mora knives. Much nicer knife than I expected for the money. I haven't actually taken it out anywhere though, it looks like it would be good for a multitude of tasks.

Mora!!! And you can save some $$$ or buy a few different ones

I recently picked up a Mora Garberg off the bay for ~$50. There more expensive if you buy a new one. I've got to say its a really nice knife.

Full tang Mora... That thing is gonna outlast the sun. Great stuff.

The Buck Mesa----sub $45 Walmart excusive----full tang 5in blade with micarta slabs and has a slick little ambi sheath----uses Buck's standard 420hc steel and comes shaving sharp.

You might have to search a bit--I had to go to several Walmarts to find one---I'll be getting a second one today if they still have any. They'll make great camping/hiking/all round knock about blades for my summer travels this year----Buck Forever Warranty also----US made.

Late to the party and he's probably already bought one but here was my suggestion, albeit a few dollars over budget. The TOPS Overlander 2. Gritty, textured brown handle with black thick blade. If you use TOBS Sandalwood, you can shave with this. If you hold it in your hand, you'll want one. One top, one life one knife bushcraft knife. https://ixquick-proxy.com/do/show_p...V78ta.jpg&sp=5c70782f2d259b54c29449cbd64ccb69

Another vote for the Mora line. They are really heard to beat, especially for the price. I bought several the last time I was in Finland. The PUKKU design is a knife for working people. The Nordic people lived and survived with their knives. Hard to beat that history.

J-P Peltonen M95 Ranger knife. Simple, comfortable, trusty, affordable, and the Finnish Army use it.
Or just buy the good old Kabar.

 

[YMMV]

Another vote for the Mora line here too

I recommend SE KHK6320 - great sturdy knife. And in general, look at a useful overview. Looking for a knife is not as easy as it may seem.
