My brother and I are exchanging Christmas gifts. He made me promise to spend only around $30. I would like some recomendations for something around that price that would be a decent knife. Folder or fixed would be fine.

He already has a CRK&T stiff kiss or I would get him one of those.

I have been considering a K-bar to carry in his patrol car. I am open to suggestions.

I second that- for something a little off of the beaten "Tactical" path:
Perhaps an Okapi (same web site) & an Opinel as well- you can get both for $30.00.
Or a Douk Douk from bladeart.com ($20.00)
Good Luck-

Or a Newt Livesay, or a Camillus Cuda Arc-lite, or jump up over to 1SKS and look at the gift selections there. Amazing amounts of stuff for that 30 bucks, my friend. Keep clicking!

Aren't Buck 110 folders still in the $30+ range?

Go to EBay and look up the CRKT LUS-11 or 12 (Lightfoot Urban Sharks), they are good knives well within your price range.
 
how about a good hatchet with sheath?

I think a hatchet would be a useful thing to carry in the trunk. I carry one in my vehicle.

The Gerber EZOut is underrated and
goes for around $30. Seems very
well built. When I really want to
torq on something with a sharp blade,
I use my EZOut because the handle is
nice and firm for a small folder.

I love all of my Cold Steel products, and would highly rek'mnd ANY of them. More specifically, I LOVE my BUSHMAN. You could get two for that price!

Browning 708 knife. Fair steel (8a) nice size and tight as a drumhead. For the money very good!

i just bought my son-in-law a CRKT Mirage for xmas...17.95 at knife center of the internet...and after inspecting it i almost kept it for myself....incredible quality for the ridiculously low price.

How about a USMC fighting utility? You can get a Ka-Bar, Camillus, or an Ontario for right at $30, plus $5 or so for shipping. Regards, Clayton Hufford
 
Well, I made my decision. I will be getting him a CRK&T. They seem to offer a lot of bang for the buck.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Good choice Dennis.

I was going to add in my opinion and recommend CRKT.

I have the Mirage and I just ordered the Urban Shark for my wife's Godfather for Xmas.

If the Shark is anything like the Mirage, we will both be happy.

CRKT offers a great knife.........especially when you consider the price.

The CRMirage really is a great deal. I use one every day. It sits on my computer in my office and is my letter opener and handy utility blade and something to fend off aggressive students.

I can't figure out why a cop would need a Kabar in his car ???

More useful would probably be something that goes with him evrywhere - clipped to his pocket or on his duty belt.

My suggestions:

CRKT POintGuard, KFF, Mirage
Spyderco Delica, Endura
Outdoor edge Field lites
Gerber EZ out as a beater
How about the new aluminum handled Gerber - 3.00 I think it's called. Stud, clip, AUS6 steel.
