I'm looking for a budget folder to carry during hiking, camping and hunting. It won't be my only knife (except during hiking maybe) I just want something handy for general purpose; cutting cordage, packages, basic food prep, light woodworking with a liner lock or frame lock.

The Ontario RAT 1/RAT 2 would have been perfect for me, but for some reason it's crazy expensive right now in Canada. Right now I'm hesitating between the Ruike P801, the QSP parrot V1 and the Civivi mini praxis. Which one would be the best? Do you have other suggestions?

I don't know why, but the RAT 2 is getting crazy expensive in Canada; around 80$ to 100$ for a base model. I was looking for a basic folding knife for hunting, camping and hiking, mostly for food prep, cutting cordage, whittling and light wood cutting with the possibility of cleaning games. The RAT 2 would have been perfect for that but at that price it's a harder pill to swallow.

What are good alternatives that would be cheaper? Ideally with an easy one-hand operation (opening and closing) like a liner lock or frame lock or others, solid lock and knife, easily cleanable in the wood and a good bang for the buck.

Edit: For "food prep", I mainly mean to open food packages, cut dried meat, fruit, bread and spread things, not a cooking knife to prepare a whole meal.

Edit 2: Other knife I have tried but aren't exactly what I wanted and why: Opinel: no one-hand operation, not easily cleaned and stable because of the wood handle Cold steel Finnwolf: not great for food prep, one-hand operation not easy, not slim in pocket Buck 112: one-hand operation not easy Leatherman signal: big and bulky in the pocket

Between Beyond All Reason and Forged Alliance Forever, which would you say is the best?

I'm a big fan of SupCom, I have been playing it since childhood, but I have never played Forged Alliance, nor have I tried BAR or FAF.

I'm looking for an RTS to play with friends (up to 6 players) for coop PVE games, maybe some PVPVE. During my research, I saw that they were pretty much the pinnacle of modern-ish RTS, and they are both free which is nice, but which would be the best for both experience and novice player (easier to pick up but still deep enough, easiness of download and matchmaking, etc)?
