Are these good prices? Which one would you get?

[pjcalla]

I am new to knives, and am wanting to start carrying a folder. I don't want to spend a ***load on my first, until I know I will carry/use it everyday. So, what do you think? Are there better options out there? I am referring to the CRKT knives on this page:

Search: at Sierra Trading Post

For the record, I will get another 20% off the "sale price."

They look ok. I carry a crkt m21-14 I love it! You might check knife lady here on ingo. She has very good prices, and you would be buying local, that is always a plus to me!

I carry a M16-10kz everyday. Its smaller but still a good size! I would start with something simple like this or the other CRKT pictured above.

If you are looking for a folder, get with Bradsknifes. If I recall correctly, knifelady deals with fixed blades.

Knives Ship for Free has a lot of the higher end knives cheaper.

Spyderco Knives - KnivesShipFree.com

Yes you will probably be able to get cheaper prices with the bigger out of state companies.

So apparently you know my prices for all of my higher end knives to make that statement. I have some knives that yes I'm a bit higher (I'm usually within $5 to $10 of their prices) than knivesShipFree. I also have knives that I beat their prices... like Zero Tolerance and Microtech just to name a few.

Actually i dont know your prices. I was referring to the OP's initial post about Sierra Trading Post.

Not a huge CRKT fan. I'd also look at some of Spyderco's offerings such as the Endura or Delica. Just my 2 cents.

I have a few CRKT knives and the are nice knives. I haven't had any problems with them. They should make a great starter for your collection. There are however better knives out there. If you can afford to buy better , I suggest you buy better. You won't be disappointed.

I have had some trouble with CRKT's liner locks. If you apply moderate pressure to the back of the blade on the one's I own, the lock starts to disengage. I don't feel very confident carrying them as tactical weapons because I can't be sure that they won't accidentally close during emergency use. Spyderco and Benchmade are two of my preferred brands, and in my experience, their locks are much better.

Thanks. Picked up one yesterday. They had one left (after I left). Nice little knife. The headlamp isn't that bright, but what do you expect?
