So, I'm looking for a fixed blade knife, that I can baton with, featherstick with, and other bushcraft tasks. I want it to be under 70$, have a good steel, and a wood handle would be nice for aesthetics and comfort.
Criteria for a fixed blade.

All you will ever need, but probably not the only knife you'll ever want.

I agree with Hillbill
Just be wary the knife can come loose in the sheath but I love the No1 I have.

This may just be in your budget: http://www.heinnie.com/Boker-Plus-Knives/Fixed-Blade-Knives/Bushcraft-Knife/p-298-971-8409/
I've never handled one, but would love to, it looks like a really capable knife for the price.

here you go, a tad cheaper than the moras and IMO a slightly more capable knife. http://heinniehaynes.com/Knives/Hultafors-Knives/Hultafors-Craftsmans-Orange-Carbon/p-92-913-6867/
the boker that sxmolloy linked to looks like a superb knife for the money BTW, but still somewhere between 5 and 10 times the price of a mora/hultafors. get something cheap first, and something pretty later

Thats cheating, it doesn't have a wooden handle.
Can't argue with that.
I have recently bought a Mora Clipper
Does not have a wooden handle but for a first knife i want to learn techniques and how to take care of the blade before getting something more aesthetically pleasing.

Never used one myself, but never heard a bad thing against condor knives other than the edge might need some work
