Suggestions??

[JohnP82]

Any tips on a nice folding knife in the $50 or less price range? I know that is probably pretty cheap to most, but I am on a kind of tight budget. I know there are alot of knives out there, but just wondering if anyone had any specific suggestions? Only requirement is that it has a pocket clip.

i think, around the INGO forum, $50 is about a glass ceiling for most on buying a knife. we have the occasional crazy who buys those expensive knives, but most are more than happy with a $50 knife. my suggestions for knives running under $50 follow. i will just list companies, as everyone has different tastes and likes different things. but all of the following have knives at or below $50, with multipule knives in that catagory.

Kershaw
Columbia River Knife and Tool
Benchmade
Bladetech (the prolite hunter is right at $50 i believe)
Spyderco

i would AVOID like the PLAGUE companies such as these: Cold Steal, Smith and Wesson (not the company, but the branded knives), Colt (same as before), any no name gas station knife, any no name gun show knife, any knife which gets offered to you for $50 or under that ISN'T in the 4 companies i mentioned above. i may be missing a few, and if you find something and its not in the list above, ask. we will more than happily give you a thumbs up or down.

good luck!

i would say the above is a pretty good list just a different order for me and i also think cold steel's are solid knives. i have one in my garage which isn't heated and used it a ton its still sharp no rust and still locking up tight. i tend to spend a bit more on knives but i like knives like i like guns i just think they are awesome. my list would be in order

spyderco
kershaw/benchmade- either option is a good one
here is one of my current edc options its a kershaw/ken onion design and a great knife holds its edge very well
KERSHAW 1670TBLKST K.O. Tactical Blur, Black Handle, Black Tanto Blade, ComboEd KNIVES CUTLERY HOME GOODS

also you can pick the above kershaw up at walmart too.

then ckr&t/ and cold steel

i have heard good things about bladetec but haven't actually played w/ one.


look around on alot of gun forums and you will find ppl selling lots of nice knives for a solid price.

For the budget minded, Wal-mart carries some of the Kershaw knives.

I picked up a Kershaw Zing and carry it everyday.

Here is a review of one with orange scales, mine has black.

I'm not crazy...

I bought an SOG Trident and love it...Yea, it cost me a crazy $85 at a 1500 show, but I think it is well worth it.

I think someone posted a thread about them being cheaper than that at Dick's, I own two and both have served me well. I would highly recommend a spydeco though, all of their knives I have owned have come razor sharp and done well to stay that way.
