I read the title as "Looking for a wife."
What a difference.
Those look like hunting knives, used to skin animals, not the regular kitchen knife.

Depending on the application...how about the Kukri knife?
I believe this design dates back to the Greeks?

The blade angle offers effective leverage for cracking skulls in hand-to-hand combat.

That looks like a very robust pocketknife CC!
I’ve been using a Kershaw pocket knife with a tanto point with some saw teeth at the bottom of the blade.
It has been very practical for me and has held-up well.

New York City, where I live, has a ridiculous "gravity knife" law (https://reason.com/2019/03/28/federal-judge-rules-new-yorks-insane-gra/) which makes it illegal for NYC residents to carry folding knives. And fixed-blade knives have to be 4 inches or shorter.
I've been looking at cheap fixed-blades and, based on reviews, this Morakniv (https://www.amazon.com/Morakniv-Craftline-Allround-Combi-Sheath-3-6-inch/dp/B00T3DNELW) looks like a good one.
Any recommendations for fixed-blade knives with 3-4 inch blades, under $50?
-
I prefer the stainless steel blade.

The recent stabbing spree by a mentally ill person and the brilliant response by quick acting citizens to grab folding chairs and crates to subdue this guy until he could be arrested and carted away by the police was awesome. This crazy guy was sporting a huge kitchen (butcher) knife. I bet his mom was upset that her favorite knife was stolen by her son.

For fixed blade, the already mentioned Moraknif is a great option. The value-to-quality ratio probably can't be beat.
Another great option is a Marttiini made in Finland. It also comes with a nice leather sheath. I have the model Big Game Condor with a 5 inch blade and it's around $30. You might be able to find a model with a smaller blade. I have both the Moraknif and Marttiini.
Another great option is Buck knives. I have several Bucks.
-
Btw, Case and Kershaw are great, too. I have both.
-
Yes, the Morakniv's look like a good deal. I had forgotten about Buck knives. These look promising:

I used to own a beautiful buck knife. I love how it folded up safely so one can place it in one's pocket. I had no idea it was now illegal to carry one in New York City. Pretty soon are going to outlaw having hands?

Sounds like you owned a Buck 110. That's probably my favorite knife of all.
Buck 110 - king of knives.

Wow! Right on key.
I didn't know the name, but I googled it just now and that was the exact knife I owned. I lost it somehow and now I do not own a hunting knife:

… Pretty soon are going to outlaw having hands?
Unless their laws have changed for the better, Sweden outlaws the use of even unarmed martial arts in self-defense.
-
Bear & Son is another good knife (also made in USA) at reasonable prices. I have two, plus a Remington Arms folder (same style as the Buck 110) that was made by Bear & Son (Remy and B & S contracted with each other). Bucks have nicer machining, fit and finish, but the B & S are still good and a little less expensive than a Buck.

Actually… the sharp point and sharply-angled edges of the "tanto" style blade are poorly applied in skinning. Tanto blades are best at piercing and slicing.

Are "tanto" style blades best used in self-defense?
Is Karate a better defense than using knives? I studied karate for two years, but had to quit because I kept coming down with H flu (bacteria), which causes pneumonia. This was the causative factor of death in the Spanish flu. Apparently, someone was a carrier of this nasty bacteria. In addition, there were some women who were ugly and evil gnostic witches. They openly hated Christians and threatened us. I left and never returned to study martial arts.
What knife do you recommend for skinning?

What knife do you recommend for skinning?
A trailing point blade is usually best for skinning. Basically, it's a blade with an oversized belly or when the spine curves up making the tip of the blade point higher than the handle or high enough to skin efficiently.

What knife do you recommend for skinning?
Tanto blades are good for self-defense and many other tasks, but skinning is not among them. Skinning is best accomplished using—drum roll— a skinning knife. I am not a skilled hunter, so cannot give good advice for a particular skinning knife.
"Is Karate a better defense than using knives?" It depends on the persons involved.

A few months back I ended up purchasing an Ontario SP-1 Combat Knife (https://tinyurl.com/y464tk6x). Made in the USA, and came with sheath, for ~$30. Good construction. However, I have not had any real time to test it out in the real world. Are these types of knives good for skinning? And by that, I mean, will they get the job done (as opposed to be the best knife for the job).

Now, why does the icon of St. Bartholomew show him holding a skinning knife?
Was he skinned alive?
According to various sources, St. Bartholomew was crucified, skinned, and then beheaded.

There is a skinning technique using a sharply pointed blade—sharpened edge up towards the skin, unsharpened edge down towards the "meat," regulate depth by carefully directing the point back and forth like a typewriter. The technique is not tenable with a clipped or drop point blade.

My husband bought me a Marbles knife from Smoky Mountain Knife works. Very cool.
