best thirty dollar knife any ideas

If money is not a problem send me some! My family and i could really use it! :)

And to answer your original question the tenacious or persistence would be a great knife to get. i actually have a tenacious that im looking to trade for a persistence to give that one a whirl!
 
Haha, I'm not the OP, but all the talk about the spyderco persistence and tenatious got me thinking that I realy do need a spyderco in my collection. (never had one before:eek:)

So I just ordered a persistence, and while looking around, the military realy caught my eye, ...so I had to get one of those too! :D ...blaze orange G-10:) ... new toys, can't wait!

I have one.
Fricking love it.
Very very good fit and finish.
Lock up is solid, no blade play.
Smooth action.

I have the one with the stainless steel handle and frame lock.

Baffles me I've seen these around for $18.

Mora is a Swedish company which makes really good inexpensive fixed blade knives. They are the great favorite of those of us who take a utiliarian view of knives and are required by some of the outdoor schools. Ragweed Forge carries the largest selection I know of and is a great place to go for information. Some of the online discounters carry the most popular models at better prices.

The most traditional Moras have wooden handles and truly great laminated carbon steel blades. The more modern ones have plastic handles molded over the tang and come in stainless, carbon steel, and a differentially heat treated carbon they call tri-flex. There are no wrong choices.
 
Mora 840, RAT 1 folder, Kabar Warthog II folder, Buck PAKLITE Skinner (my new favorite cheap knife!) Cold Steel Finn Bear, R Murphy Canadian Belt Knife, Any of the Condor bushcrafting knives, a Byrd Wing (nice handy backup backpacking blade) Columbia River Lightfoot
 
If you really have to spend the money on a knife, then go for the three Moras. But I'd get a portable double-sided sharpening stone instead, to refresh sharpness while hiking. It's a lot more useful.

if you're using RC-58 or softer, a 3 dollar Smith's arkansas hardstone and a small piece of 1,000 and 2,000 grit wet and dry sandpaper are cheap, light, small and effective. That still leaves you 25 dollars for a knife...

you just bought a knife.

here's an idea, save the cash. get something you need later on down the road with other monies you saved.

just because you have money doesnt mean you have to spend it. honestly I would just sell the giftcard for 25 dollars to a friend who isnt foresighted enough to save it themselves.
