These videos are a huge source of information. So glad the Civivi Riffle made the cut here. I have the sandalwood handle and Damascus blade version and it's such an incredibly cool knife.
Hello Kara and Jerad, I want to let you know that I appreciate the budget knife videos. Most TH-camrs get big and never do budget knives anymore. I collect sub $100 knives and have bought a few that I have discovered from your videos. Also Kara needs to do a 5 knives she loves, she has good taste in knives.
I absolutely love these videos. There are so many killer sub $100 knives now that are so amazing. You could build a very solid collection just in that range.
Best budget stiletto: TacForce “Big Boy”. Spring assist, pops open instantly, 6.5” blade sharp enough out of the box to do what stilettos are designed to do. Sturdy enough to do that job when needed; inexpensive enough to be disposable when usage requires it.
WHat a GREAT list, Ive already had a few of these saved in my future buy list, and......... now theres a lot more on that list lol. thanks man great video
I use a small $2 stainless kitchen knife for outdoor activities.. I swear, as long as the knife metal is thick, it's good enough.. I'm also more comfortable using a cheap knife cause I don't worry that I might ruin the blade unlike those expensive knives..
I recently bought a civivi brazen and sold my bugout. Yeah the steel isn't S30V but its so much better overall. For what me and 99.999999% of people use their knives for the lower end steels are just fine
Absolutely imo 14c28n is a fantastic mid grade steel and for budget prices. I recently did a cut test with civivi 14c28n steel I think it did fantastic I posted an edge retention video a couple days ago
The unrelenting energy and enthusiasm is both hilarious and refreshing. 😂 I actually hasn’t seen or heard of at least half of the knives you showed. Out of all of these, which one stands up the best to more aggressive use?
Probably the civivi brazen, another one I should of added is the Kizer justice great harder use work knife, but depending on what kind of aggressive, aggressive cutting or aggressive prying and scraping?
@Neeves Knives I’ll take a look at those! I was thinking aggressive cutting, maybe aggressive piercing. I (generally) have enough sense not to pry with a knife, but I have experienced the FRN handle of my lightweight knife squashing or warping when trying to cut through a thick ball of modeling clay. I also recently broke a huge made-in-Pakistan lockback trying to use it like an axe on a small tree stump that was growing up against the fence in my backyard. The craziest I get, even with prying, is with my Izula. That thing is so absurdly strong that I’ve started using it as a gardening shovel to cut the roots of unwanted plants, then pry them up out of the ground.
Best budget knives are the lightly used ones you find at pawn shops. For instance, picked up a Zero Tolerance 0770cf for $110 that was Basically mint in box.
Loving the kizer mini sheepdog!!!! Action is super smooth and addictive with perfect detent and pretty good acoustics. I mean where else can you get CPM-10V for $84 with micarta scales?? Only complaint are the ergos there absolutely HORRIBLE on the mini...... granted that's only because the handle length is under 3 and half inches. I would have gone with 3.25 inch blade because it comes with a longer overall length and has additional handle room for bigger hands but it wasn't available at bladehq.
Love the video, I do have to add, the Kansept Kryo is in my arsenal and the only complain I have is that the blade hits the middle screw when closing which damages the blade.
Wow killing it..appreciate your thoughts on civivi..and you already did a review on the ts305..🤣😂..I'm uploading a big twosun video because of your twosun guilt..hehe
Twosuns are awesome, have the 226, 134, 319, and one more on the way but forget its number. I just think for the money, quality, materials, and action, you can't go wrong. Yes a little more $ then Civivi( which I have multiple of ) but wow
@@NeevesKnives thats how I ended up with 2 ts134, I usually remember the price, but I had bought one on ebay, and amazon, and there was a $50 difference
Recently discovered a Chinese brand that produces hommages of Shiro's, and it is incredible. Ok, no original designs but man, the quality is beyond anything else for 70$. Name is Green Thorn, you should have a look if you your budget is tight and want to experiment with titanium and double row ceramic ball bearings action.
Honorable mentions are most Kershaw and CRKT sub-$50 knives. They won’t win awards for actions or being sleek, but they work well. And Kershaw made the mini Skyline to compete with the Elementum and it may honesty be a better knife. Just worth mentioning. Like a M16 is a knife that will last decades and you can find them from $30-70 and there’s about twenty options. Kershaw has probably thirty blades under $50
Have to try the real steel metamorph only $35 with shipping on bladehq it just came in today g10 scales lower quality steel and not the best factory edge but man this is my favorite flipper I’ve had yet! So fun and the edge is holding from the light use I’ve put it through already
@@clayrichards4986 I want to get the blue aluminum G5 with 14c28N. If I really like it like I think will I may get the BHQ exclusive in S35VN and Carbon Fiber.
Lol I thought I was having a stroke there at the end when he brought the begleiter2 out again. But I think he was trying to think of the Keizer Domin. It's basically the same size just a little bit different blade shape. 👍
Yeah I actually have the large domin 2 the large begleiter 2 and a couple mini begleiter 2, I used to have the first versions but they don't compare to the 2nd versions
Great fast moving video, but your idea and my idea of a budget knife are completely different. I have a knife collection and many of my knives cost less than $20, many cost more. I have fun finding great cheap knives. Most of the knives you call cheap are well over $50. They may be good knives but I have several really good knives I paid less than $10 for. I think you might even be impressed and I do not collect junk knives.
I went between 25 and 80 because everyone's idea of budget knives are different, and it's nice to know that for 10 more $ what you can get or not get, and things that were 30$ at the beginning of the year have went up in cost so 2021 budget knives are a little more $ than last years. My idea is 50 and under normally
You should do a slap chop commercial man. Awsome video tho, I dont understand how you went through so many knives and packed with all the info on all them.
I‘m not a fan of the Feldspar Mini. I‘ve got two, both with flaws. One of the two has a weak detent while the detent of the other one is extremely hard. Therefore, the flicking action isn‘t very good on either.
Most people I've heard has had great experience with the feldspar but there has been a few I know of with issues on the mini, mines pretty solid though
Somehow, you managed to include half of my knife collection. Great picks. The Keen Nadder, Odium, and Grazioso are three of my absolute favorites... that aren't Twosun knives
I like the video but would’ve been better if you had a list written down with knife name, price, and materials for you to refer to while doing the video. It would help your flow and help you stumble less.
In the description I put most of the knives for you to find by hitting the link, a few I wasn't able to get, but you can easily find by looking up, also I have reviewed 90% of the knives so you can find full reviews on them on my channel, the video was almost 20 min anymore indo would made an hour long video, everything you would want to know is in my reviews
i hate to ask but could anyone recommend a budget knife with safety switch and really tough blade? i have to pocket carry and use my knife in auto field and well mine is beat to death need a new one.
If I was you get a cold steel with a triad lock, strongest locking system, look into cold steel knives with tri ad lock, or an axis lock it's extremely strong, next would be a compression lock from spyderco. You can find a lot of budget knives with axis style locks
I recently got my first Civivi (a blue Praxis). Verry impressed! My next one is between the blacked out Brazen Tanto and the Riffel. Which would you recommend between those two?
Maybe you can answer a question for me. I love the Benchmade Osborne 940. The knife is amazing. I especially like the blade design/shape. I really want one of these knives. But, I am "on a fixed income." The Osborne is not in the budget right now. So I am looking for a knife with a similar design (and possibly a flipper) at a lower price for right now. Do you have any suggestions? I am willing to sacrifice some features and/or quality until I can afford the Benchmade. Thank you.
Micarta, that's tough but probably the Riffle, sencut actium, brazen, picaro, if the elementum button lock had multiple deployments then it would be that one. There's a few other models that I also love but I don't own those are my favorites that I own
When I got the actium, i was literally shocked at how good it is for the price. Love it! Btw, what is your coupon code for mohave outdoor? I've got a notification setup for the sheepdog. Thanks Jared.
I'm not sure they might be all sold out they recently dropped the titanium and 154cm version but I'm not sure when the s35 will be in stock, just check with all the dealers
Personally I only have the elementum button lock with the marbled carbon scales and damascus blade and the imperium with the jade scales and nitro v blade and love them both.not really a fan soo far for the nitro v steel on the imperium though only because it doesn't really seem to hold a edge for too long.in it's defense though I have knifes such as the carbon scaled viper katla with a m390 blade steel and that doesn't hold a edge for too long either.knifes are used a lot for cutting up cardboard and cutting open ingredient bags like flour.s35vn steel blades imo work great for cutting cardboard and whatnot and that steel seems to hold a great edge for along time so find myself always using my ArtisanCutlary Centauri the most out of all my knifes.
You gotta get the Sencut Actium, it's just such a slicey monster because of the hollow grind and it being d2 doesn't mean much considering how good properly heat treated D2 really is. Don't have to worry much at all about rust if you get a black coated one (as long as you run it through a sharpener occasionally and don't let it get wet (and if you do, not for too long before you wipe it down.) I got the Purple G10 with the black coating and it just doesn't relent on the edge for a whole month of common use.
Civivi does great knives for my budget but someone lit a fire under kizer this year, have bought 3 this year. Good video. What model was that first twosun you compared with a civivi?
Got my Venev dog 80/150 25% stone in today and I'll let you know how they do on Carbon blades. Do you think I should start one stone up (240/400 25%) and not go so aggressive?
You can start low just make sure you refine it with a medium grt, I did a carbon blade today and started with a diamond to reprofile fast but then finished with an India stone and it came out great, but I made sure my other stones after reprofiling was aluminum oxide
I paid roughly 55-60 USD for a Spyderco, steel type is 8Cr13MoV. Is this good steel? It's my first Spyderco knife and I was kinda concerned that the price being so low means it's crap steel.
It's a bottom of the barrel budget steel, barely adequate, and for the price no it's not. Sorry to say, spyderco does great heat treatments so it's probably done well for the steel but it's still a super simple steel
Try the Camillus LK6 with what they call a 2.5" Titanium D2 for $20 at Knife Center. No kidding, I bought one cuz D2 at $20, lol. Not bad, frame lock that's a little hard to use because it is short, but I think it's roller bearings and a flat grind, great little knife for the price. Pocket clip is kind of sucky though. No idea what Titanium bonded D2 is though as it looks like stone washed D2. I have two Camillus D2 knives and they're inexpensive, but not cheaply made.
The titanium is a coating nothing special its just a coating that goes over steel no idea why it's named that, maybe to make you think there's something actually titanium somewhere lol
@@NeevesKnives On some of their other knives they call it Carbonitride Titanium which would be a tough coating, but it isn't like it's on the edge of the blade. Camillus is an old company, but it seems everything they make now is made in China, but they use Aus-8 in a few of their knives which I prefer over 8CrMoV, even though they're close to being the same steel Aus-8 is more consistent than 8CrMoV generally. Camillus also makes 6 models in VG-10 on their more expensive knives.
Most of the good budget knives are going to be liner locks, because most people don't want steel framelock knives, they would rather have titanium which is usually more expensive
A lot of great knife choices, but unfortunately because I live in Massachusetts, Amazon won't ship any of them to me. It's a strange situation because all these knives are legal to own and carry here in Massachusetts, but Massachusetts must have coerced Amazon, for some inexplicable reason, not to ship knives here. I like to use the links for knife purchases from channels I support, but I don't bother wirh Amazon anymore.
@@FTA4evr it appears about 8 years ago your leaders made it a restriction that Amazon or anyone else for that matter can’t ship them because they don’t allow any object that causes harm to be shipped into Massachusetts.
@@BrandonGavin_EDC I rarely, if ever, buy knives from Amazon, but many of the knife reviewers I follow on TH-cam often include links to Amazon for the knives they review. I've noticed Amazon has become more restrictive in which knives they will ship into Mass. AO's and automatics were always restricted, but so were knives with flippers. Other one-hand openers were okay, but now it seems just about everything is banned, I don't believe there have been any recent changes in Mass. knife laws, so I tend to think the problem resides in large part with Amazon.
You can get a good pocket knife for less than 20$ but I've been there and know how it feels, I've had my collections stolen, and I've had to sell them to survive, soon as I started getting back on my feet my collection started again one by one
@@NeevesKnives yeah, a surgeon ruined my back/life and i can’t work. Had to sell everything of value to pay bills, then lost everything anyway. Lol. Now i have covid. It’s terrible.
You can find the Spyderco manix-2 standard model with CPM-S30V and G-10 handles on sale for less than $100. I bought my half serrated model for $72! and my fully honed edge model for $80! Still made right here on Earth, in the good old USA and it’s a damn good knife! That still means a lot to me. All those Chinese produced knives are nice but you can find many solid blades for good prices and that money goes into American pockets instead of the pockets of sworn enemies. Just saying.
I mostly agree, for most Americans I would lovevthem to support usa products including knives, many Chinese made knives are companies owned by USA or designed by 🇺🇸 so a majority of the $ comes to the USA, it's nice to have 100% stay in the USA, but in many cases many parts are still bought overseas whether you know it or not, I'm a knife reviewer that reviews knives, 80% of all the knives on the planet are made overseas, many folks buy both, because they already have all the usa knives being collectors, many buy sell and trade them, buying knives from overseas isn't what's hurting our country it's way more than that. We are lucky to have knives still made in the usa
Neeves Knives - yes I’m fully aware and I fully agree. I was just stating my frustrations with the situation. Imo the Chinese designed and produced knives are in many cases sooo much better than what’s being designed and produced here. They are just killing us for the most part. Yes there are some awesome USA designed and produced knives but they’re few and far between and most are high end only propositions where as these Chinese knives are gorgeous and well made and coming in by the HUNDREDS! It’s a good thing and it’s a very very bad thing all at once.
@@holdernewtshesrearin5471 absolutely 💯 I strongly strongly advocate for USA knives and products and wish more companies would start coming up. I know the budget range is nearly impossible at this point but we gotta keep fighting
Neeves Knives - true. It just seems the Asian designers are just killing it while the domestic designs just fall a little flat. And there’s only a few designs released each year from brands like ZT and Benchmade in particular. Spyderco releases a bunch of new designs usually but nothing like the deluge of absolutely awesome designs coming from China. All the US makers better get in the game!
Wouldn't pay half the price for these knives. They all look quality and then they use a crappie liner lock, way to skimp out folks. I actually use mine for work had my spyderco Atlantic salt discontinued for 9 years lockback NEVER let me down.
Inflation! Everyone's idea of budget knife is different so I just went with knives under 100$ heck most people would consider Kershaw from Wal-Mart budget knives and they can be 70$ so I went with 30 to 80 on this list for the most part
Looks like the poster has a lot of scars and cuts on his hands from handling knives. Is it fair to say this video is very knife fetish heavy. The way he flips them open makes me think of a fidget toy. That is the extent of my psyc analysis for today.
"Welcome to the Civivi show"....there, fixed the title for ya
WE'RE.. ALL.. STARS.. NOW..., in the Civivi SHOW!!
😆
Nice list too follow up to your hobby video, Jerad! Lots of great options for new knife users and collectors!
I put a Qwik thumb stud on the micarta swayback and it worked pretty damn good. Great knives you showed here!
What’s wrong with that?
These videos are a huge source of information. So glad the Civivi Riffle made the cut here. I have the sandalwood handle and Damascus blade version and it's such an incredibly cool knife.
Yeahvthe Riffle us a winner for sure
Hello Kara and Jerad, I want to let you know that I appreciate the budget knife videos. Most TH-camrs get big and never do budget knives anymore. I collect sub $100 knives and have bought a few that I have discovered from your videos. Also Kara needs to do a 5 knives she loves, she has good taste in knives.
👊 yes she absolutely does and will
I absolutely love these videos. There are so many killer sub $100 knives now that are so amazing. You could build a very solid collection just in that range.
For sure, the 50$ knives of today are the 200$ knives of 15 years ago
Value drops usually but I do also enjoy them.
Best budget stiletto: TacForce “Big Boy”. Spring assist, pops open instantly, 6.5” blade sharp enough out of the box to do what stilettos are designed to do. Sturdy enough to do that job when needed; inexpensive enough to be disposable when usage requires it.

I believe I have one best budget knives around 50$ or under, but I'm always in the process of doing another
Petrified Fish 939
Perfect blade shape that is supremely versatile. Excellent D2 steel. Superb fit and finish.
The Snap is my favorite of the Sencut line, especially with the wood scales.

I'm not sure they might be all sold out they recently dropped the titanium and 154cm version but I'm not sure when the s35 will be in stock, just check with all the dealers
Personally I only have the elementum button lock with the marbled carbon scales and damascus blade and the imperium with the jade scales and nitro v blade and love them both.not really a fan soo far for the nitro v steel on the imperium though only because it doesn't really seem to hold a edge for too long.in it's defense though I have knifes such as the carbon scaled viper katla with a m390 blade steel and that doesn't hold a edge for too long either.knifes are used a lot for cutting up cardboard and cutting open ingredient bags like flour.s35vn steel blades imo work great for cutting cardboard and whatnot and that steel seems to hold a great edge for along time so find myself always using my ArtisanCutlary Centauri the most out of all my knifes.
You gotta get the Sencut Actium, it's just such a slicey monster because of the hollow grind and it being d2 doesn't mean much considering how good properly heat treated D2 really is. Don't have to worry much at all about rust if you get a black coated one (as long as you run it through a sharpener occasionally and don't let it get wet (and if you do, not for too long before you wipe it down.)
I got the Purple G10 with the black coating and it just doesn't relent on the edge for a whole month of common use.
Civivi does great knives for my budget but someone lit a fire under kizer this year, have bought 3 this year. Good video. What model was that first twosun you compared with a civivi?
The ts319, and yes they Definitely decided to step up their game
@@NeevesKnives thanks
Got my Venev dog 80/150 25% stone in today and I'll let you know how they do on Carbon blades. Do you think I should start one stone up (240/400 25%) and not go so aggressive?
You can start low just make sure you refine it with a medium grt, I did a carbon blade today and started with a diamond to reprofile fast but then finished with an India stone and it came out great, but I made sure my other stones after reprofiling was aluminum oxide
Did you know you display the kizer begleiter 2 twice?
Dude you might as well just do a whole civivi commercial, how come no crkt pilar 3?
I'm all out of Pilars atm
I paid roughly 55-60 USD for a Spyderco, steel type is 8Cr13MoV.
Is this good steel? It's my first Spyderco knife and I was kinda concerned that the price being so low means it's crap steel.
It's a bottom of the barrel budget steel, barely adequate, and for the price no it's not. Sorry to say, spyderco does great heat treatments so it's probably done well for the steel but it's still a super simple steel
@@NeevesKnives thanks, I'll stick to Civivi from now on.
Thank you
Try the Camillus LK6 with what they call a 2.5" Titanium D2 for $20 at Knife Center. No kidding, I bought one cuz D2 at $20, lol. Not bad, frame lock that's a little hard to use because it is short, but I think it's roller bearings and a flat grind, great little knife for the price. Pocket clip is kind of sucky though. No idea what Titanium bonded D2 is though as it looks like stone washed D2. I have two Camillus D2 knives and they're inexpensive, but not cheaply made.
The titanium is a coating nothing special its just a coating that goes over steel no idea why it's named that, maybe to make you think there's something actually titanium somewhere lol
@@NeevesKnives On some of their other knives they call it Carbonitride Titanium which would be a tough coating, but it isn't like it's on the edge of the blade. Camillus is an old company, but it seems everything they make now is made in China, but they use Aus-8 in a few of their knives which I prefer over 8CrMoV, even though they're close to being the same steel Aus-8 is more consistent than 8CrMoV generally. Camillus also makes 6 models in VG-10 on their more expensive knives.
A lot a knives not much diff, and whats with all the liner locks?
Most of the good budget knives are going to be liner locks, because most people don't want steel framelock knives, they would rather have titanium which is usually more expensive
A lot of great knife choices, but unfortunately because I live in Massachusetts, Amazon won't ship any of them to me. It's a strange situation because all these knives are legal to own and carry here in Massachusetts, but Massachusetts must have coerced Amazon, for some inexplicable reason, not to ship knives here. I like to use the links for knife purchases from channels I support, but I don't bother wirh Amazon anymore.
Sorry to hear that Ronnie, I do have links and a 10% discount for mojaveoutdoor that I use in my recent Kizer knives videos
@@NeevesKnives Thanks, I'll check them out.
@@FTA4evr it appears about 8 years ago your leaders made it a restriction that Amazon or anyone else for that matter can’t ship them because they don’t allow any object that causes harm to be shipped into Massachusetts.
@@BrandonGavin_EDC I rarely, if ever, buy knives from Amazon, but many of the knife reviewers I follow on TH-cam often include links to Amazon for the knives they review. I've noticed Amazon has become more restrictive in which knives they will ship into Mass. AO's and automatics were always restricted, but so were knives with flippers. Other one-hand openers were okay, but now it seems just about everything is banned, I don't believe there have been any recent changes in Mass. knife laws, so I tend to think the problem resides in large part with Amazon.
hi bro where is the ch3504? for 20$
Hmmm.... Civivi or Kizer? Great bunch of knives! ✌️
Dats tough
Forța 💪💪💪💪❤
Another good list of knifes
knives…… not knifes🤓
I had several of those and had to sell everything. That seriously hurt my heart watching that lol. I f***ing MISS having a pocket knife!!
You can get a good pocket knife for less than 20$ but I've been there and know how it feels, I've had my collections stolen, and I've had to sell them to survive, soon as I started getting back on my feet my collection started again one by one
@@NeevesKnives yeah, a surgeon ruined my back/life and i can’t work. Had to sell everything of value to pay bills, then lost everything anyway. Lol. Now i have covid. It’s terrible.
The QSP Penguin Plus is where it’s at
Can you please show the price, what do you consider budget knife?
30 to 80 I put on this list,I put links in description
BANG ! Time to switch to decaf bro...... Lol
That kansept looks like the poor man’s yojimbo and I’m now very interested.
😆 yeah kind of it's a solid knife
Зачётные ножи
Outstanding content.
🙏
which Titanium ? There are several different grades of Ti !
Same as we use in USA 6 AL 4v they call it grade 4 we call it grade 5 but it's the exact same it's been tested and proven
"This is the best thing in the world lets get to the next one"
Current price for the penguin is $32 on Amazon
I seen that after I did the video, prices are going up on everything I guess, inflation everything
@@NeevesKnives yep, thank resident potato for that.
Thanks for keeping the Two Suns out of this one.
👊
Very good review.
I wish Civivi would quite putting those big ugly holes in their blades. Totally ruins the aesthetic for me, personally. But darn good video!
Most people prefer hole deployment over studs, but they have a lot of knives that are thumb stud or flipper deployment
I must be the only knife guy that doesn't like the elementum. I bought one at the same time as a keizer sheepdog mini, and prefer the keizer.
Have you tried the regular sheepdog or mini non flipper version? It's amazing
@@NeevesKnives regular sheepdog is just a bit bigger than I want to carry. And I haven't tried the non flipper yet, but it's on the list.
Nice
You can find the Spyderco manix-2 standard model with CPM-S30V and G-10 handles on sale for less than $100. I bought my half serrated model for $72! and my fully honed edge model for $80!
Still made right here on Earth, in the good old USA and it’s a damn good knife! That still means a lot to me.
All those Chinese produced knives are nice but you can find many solid blades for good prices and that money goes into American pockets instead of the pockets of sworn enemies.
Just saying.
I mostly agree, for most Americans I would lovevthem to support usa products including knives, many Chinese made knives are companies owned by USA or designed by 🇺🇸 so a majority of the $ comes to the USA, it's nice to have 100% stay in the USA, but in many cases many parts are still bought overseas whether you know it or not, I'm a knife reviewer that reviews knives, 80% of all the knives on the planet are made overseas, many folks buy both, because they already have all the usa knives being collectors, many buy sell and trade them, buying knives from overseas isn't what's hurting our country it's way more than that. We are lucky to have knives still made in the usa
Neeves Knives - yes I’m fully aware and I fully agree. I was just stating my frustrations with the situation.
Imo the Chinese designed and produced knives are in many cases sooo much better than what’s being designed and produced here.
They are just killing us for the most part.
Yes there are some awesome USA designed and produced knives but they’re few and far between and most are high end only propositions where as these Chinese knives are gorgeous and well made and coming in by the HUNDREDS!
It’s a good thing and it’s a very very bad thing all at once.
@@holdernewtshesrearin5471 absolutely 💯 I strongly strongly advocate for USA knives and products and wish more companies would start coming up. I know the budget range is nearly impossible at this point but we gotta keep fighting
Neeves Knives - true. It just seems the Asian designers are just killing it while the domestic designs just fall a little flat.
And there’s only a few designs released each year from brands like ZT and Benchmade in particular. Spyderco releases a bunch of new designs usually but nothing like the deluge of absolutely awesome designs coming from China.
All the US makers better get in the game!
The micarta on that kansept sucks. But I love the rest of the knife
Wouldn't pay half the price for these knives. They all look quality and then they use a crappie liner lock, way to skimp out folks. I actually use mine for work had my spyderco Atlantic salt discontinued for 9 years lockback NEVER let me down.
First two links the two two sons says sorry on Amazon when u click on the link
China just dominates in this tier. Wish there were more makers than just China.
I personally didn't see anything from USA this year or it would been on
*Sounds like the 'Sham-Wow' guy*
Interesting, so nowadays a 'budget knife' pretty much means anything
Inflation! Everyone's idea of budget knife is different so I just went with knives under 100$ heck most people would consider Kershaw from Wal-Mart budget knives and they can be 70$ so I went with 30 to 80 on this list for the most part
BANG!!!
Looks like the poster has a lot of scars and cuts on his hands from handling knives. Is it fair to say this video is very knife fetish heavy. The way he flips them open makes me think of a fidget toy. That is the extent of my psyc analysis for today.
