during your research, you might check out some of the survival web sites, they often test blades and do reviews- sadly, price is not as good an indicator anymore, as some true crap is being sold high, but basic principles govern good knife design, and they will not change- do not expect to find something brand new for nothing, that fits all your needs, mind you, but some stuff is just outrageos and shitty as well ( the best example off the top of my head being "dark OPS " brand knives- these things are just what no one needs to survive, out of inferior steel, for several hundred dollars) the reeve knives, on the other hand, have been well known and respected for years, but they are pricey- which is why i use military surplus blades in my B.O.B.- And test out anything that you do get, ESPECIALLY the multi tool- I have gotten great tools for 5 dollars, and crap for 50 or more.... price is a general guide, but make sure it will work before you depend on it..... and make sure it has the stuff you need- needle nose pliers are really not that great for much, I have learned.......
