Best Knife for 10$ ?

[Bob W]

moras are nice, but remember, they have the "ability" to rust

They're available in carbon, or stainless.
$10 gets you either a molded plastic handle or a red dyed handle, both with plastic sheathes. $28 buys a 'deluxe' model with a raw wood handle and leather sheath.

Opinels are wonderful cutters, my favorite knife. But to stay under $10 at most dealers, you're going to be limited to the smaller models or paring knives. If you can spare $3 extra, the Mora Garden Knife is an incredible bargain.

Kershaw Half Ton isn't bad for $10-12. Got mine as a gift.

Vic Bantam. My half ton has the most blade play of any knife I've ever handled. Vic Bantam. Vic Bantam.

Another vote for Kershaw Crown.

I'd go with a mora. check ebay and amazon for deals.

Mora, Vic bantam, classic, or pocket pal.

 

[res1cue]

Mora, Opinel, and Sanrenmu knives are all good values.

This plus the SAK classic

Tramontina makes a nice machete for under $10. Might not be what you're looking for, though.
