A knife for $30 or less, what would you get?

[zimmerDN]

It has to be a folder. My choice would be Kabar Dozier.

But what do I know, I am new to this game.

Save $10 and get a Spyderco Calypso jr from New graham

 

[Fisher of Men]

I agree with Gumby

I 3rd it! One heck of a nice folder and probably the best deal in knifedom.

Even if someone is accustomed to carrying $400-$500 customs, you will find things to appreciate in a Calypso and not feel totally "underknifed". Light, fairly strong and good cutters. What more could you want for that much?

 

[zimmerDN]

But that knife is sold out everywhere for that price. Can someone provide a link?

An Opinel or an Old Timer, and I could still get lunch with what was left over.

 

[Will]

Opinel, or your favourite SAK for $30 or less - many to chose from.

Buck 110, or the new Buck Mayo

I just got my Spyderco Byrd today. It is a really nice knife even better that the Dozier that sells for the same price. They are less than $20.

ZimmerDN, Welcome to the forums! I just ordered a Spyderco Calypso Jr. in grey FRN from www.newgraham.com . Only problem is they are 40.58. This is 10.00 more than your expressed wishing to spend. The Calypso Jr. is a great knife as everyone has stated. The grey FRN Jr. comes in VG-10 and is a very good steel from Spyderco.

Ka-Bar Dozier, any of them. $20, doesn't get much better. Of course for $20 more you get a Caly Jr., great piece there.

Never used one, but from what I've heard, the Dozier is a good buy.

 

[BigFunWMU]

Camillus EDC is a pretty decent knife, the AUS-8 one is only 25$ or so at New Graham.

 

[Yojimbo-girl]

You can't go wrong with the Spyderco Byrd line, 440C blade steel, good quality control and cheap!

 

[averageguy]

S&W folders seem to offer a lot of bang for the buck.

 

[zinn1348]

Queen Country Cousin or Utility slipjoint folders in d2 steel.

Dozier/k-bars are good too.

S&W folders seem to offer a lot of bang for the buck.

The one I bought fell apart in my hand, simple liner lock. Never bought any more to compare the first one to.

Buck 110 $29.00 at Wal-Mart.

It doesnt really get that much nicer for the price.

Just got my Calypso Jr from New Graham in the mail yesterday, a super knife for that price.
