Everyone has their own opinion of what constitutes the “best” survival knife. For me it comes down to a quality to price comparison.

In my opinion, Frost Mora makes a knife that gives you the most bang for your buck, coming in at around $10.00-15.00 depending on the model.
The Mora Clipper is my favorite fixed blade knife, I keep one in my vehicle and two of them in my B.O.B. The only real downside is that it only has a ¾ tang on the knife, but this is quickly counteracted by the fact that you can purchase three or four of these knives for the price of one of the good (more expensive) name brand knives such as Kabar.
Pros
High carbon steel blade
Large handle with plenty of grip
Extremely economical
Plastic handle is easy to sanitize
Cons
Not a full tang on the blade
Plastic case is a bit bulky
Plastic case feels cheap
