Best EDC under 30$

And neither does mine:

I got for free a Kershaw RJ Martin "Tactical" 1986, with a 3 11/16" blade (almost 3 3/4) and a super positive assisted opening spring that will never cause problems, and, if the edge holds up, it is simply the best folder I have ever owned, better than the $500 Al Mar knife it came free with!: The $500 folder needed badly a professional regrind to be useable, while the free Kershaw, worth about $30 (and free!), took by hand a reduced 12 degree per side edge quite well:

Except for the lack of jimping on the thumb ramp, the quality, execution and especially the design are phenomenal...: Not the typical slab handle but a nicely shaped one, with the flipper acting as an actual guard... Truly the best folder I have ever owned...

And forget the flipper concept: This is so assisted it is basically an automatic knife, without the hassle of automatics... Even the clip design, super small and very functional, is my favourite of all time...

:thumbup: I hear you buddy! if that beauty is any like my smith and wessons, that edge will be around way longer than any of us will! thats a FACT :thumbup::)
 
Gaston, will this "magic" Kershaw of yours go through the same "testing" that destroyed that All Mar?

I think this thread must be about dead...it's beginning to attract trolls. I guess everything constructive got said already :)
 
ive seen a lot of great suggestions. Is the buck vantage pro something to consider, or the buck rush. I really would rather have a liner, frame, or button lock than a lockback. Want to be able to use one hand.
 
So i have found that i like 5.75-7in knives. Preferably liner lock, and preferably under 30, but under 50 is fine. any suggestions.

I don't know the Buck Rush, but I really like my Vantages (Pro and Select.) I got them 6 years ago, which ended my knife purchases (almost ;) .) They perform well on anything I use them for, take and hold a good edge, and with only a minimal amount of sanding, feel good in the hand. I bought them early in their production runs, which got me a troubled Pro at first, but Buck made it right with a perfect one, and the Select was aces from the start. Buck makes a great product, for the money especially, but a great product.
