A few things that seemed to be almost constants throughout this search were:

The hardness of almost all knives seems to fall between 57 and 60 Rockwell with the stainless steel blades usually towards the bottom end.

Most common production knives are about 8 to 10 inches overall.

Lots of discussions regarding the type of grind of the blade and edge.

Good quality costs between about $150Au and $500Au but there are a few that rate much higher than their price, eg. Mora Knives.

Only a few distinct shapes in the blades.

All US videos and tests seem to centre on the knives ability to chop into trees and saplings. I have an axe.


Thanks again everyone.
