Hi All, Just curious about what you think is the best bang for the buck knife. I loved the wally world Spyderco when they had'em , just picked up a Buck 110 for $28. I just love a good bargain. Even on the high end ....just curious to see what the great buys out there right now....

What are your bang for the buck knives?
 
Yeah, the Buck 110 for $28 from WalMart is a great "bang-for-the-buck" knife. Here are some more:

Cut-n-paste.

  • Kershaw Skyline - $35 : US made, good Sandvik steel, nice the blade shape, G-10 handles, liner lock, hollow ground blade, bead blasted finish, 2 position clip for right handed tip up or tip down carry, phosphor bronze washers, light weight, smooth and fast flipper w/ thumbstuds also (non-AO)
  • Spyderco Tenacious - $30-35 : Chinese made, high quality, high value, very good fit & finish, decent steel, G-10, handles, liner lock, 4 position clip for tip up/down/left/right carry, phosphor bronze washers, fast & smooth deployment, open construction, full-flat grind, Spyder Hole (non-AO), great thumb jimping
  • Buck Vantage Pro - $40-45 : US made, S30V "premium" steel, G-10 handles, liner lock, very high value considering the Paul Bos treated S30V premium steel, great clip design that rides very low in pocket, hollow ground blade, 2 position clip for left or right tip up carry, open construction, flipper and thumbslot (non-AO), no jimping
  • Kershaw Leek - $35-50+ depending on steel and handle options : US made, steel handles, frame lock, good Sandvik steel (other steel choices include S30V, ZDP-189/Sandvik composite blade), hollow grind blade 2 position clip for right hand tip up or tip down, thumbstud and flipper w/ AO
  • Spyderco Native - $50 and up : US made, great S30V steel (other steel options available), FRN handles, linerless, pinned construction on the cheaper models, spear/leaf shaped hollow ground blade, 2 position clip for right or left handed tip up carry, light weight, linerless Spyder Hole (non-AO), great thumb jimping

I also think that my $236 Zero Tolerance ZT0300 has high bang to buck ratio.
 
well bang for your buck is relative, i think the kershaw SG2 blem is a great deal for a Ti framelock.
 
spyderco-manix 2 is my pick over all at price point. endura 4,delica 4,benchmade grip., 710, kershaw lahar.

ka-bar heavy bowie - outchopped Busse knives that cost ten times as much, has a full flat grind which is awesome for batoning, comes with a halfway decent sheath, and you will be out the cost of a good steak dinner if you lose it. Great value IMHO.
 
Spyderco Manix2 is a great knife for the money.

Nice steel, grippy G10, made in America and it's a Spyderco to boot :D

For $100 you can get a whole bunch of good, usable knives with these brands.
