Best value knives of ALL time

thats a good list. summarizes some of the best selling knives around those price categories.
 
I'll throw in the Svord Peasant, 3 inches of well ground L6 in a very simple, effective traditional friction lock folder... 20 bucks. They have an entire economy line of nice wood handled 15N20 bushcrafting blades but only one company imports them in the US, and they charge an arm and a leg.
Cold Steel Finn Bear @ 10
R Murphy Canadian Belt Knife, 18 dollars

Added the Svord Peasant even though I hate how it looks lol. Definitely a good value though. Also added the Finn Bear. I couldn't find anywhere selling the R Murphy though?
 
Buck 110... always has and always will
 
I think the EKA Swede 88 and EKA Swede 82 deserve a place here. They're classic time-tested Scandinavian folders with excellent construction, and very reasonably priced.
 
Traditional: hallmark cutlery( kissing crane, chief)
Modern: oso sweet, discontinued leatherman folders
Fixed: cs canadian belt knife, panga machete and condor bushlore( with some minor mods)

~50 Spyderco Delica
~100 Spyderco Para-military 1
<400 Sebenza
>400 Mayos and Lochsa (straight from the maker, of course)
 
Jumped to reply, so I haven't looked over the posts yet. I may have already posted as I am forgetful sometimes. As far as value for what you get, two knives I consider that to be true about are, 1- Kershaw G-10 Tyrade, 2-and the ZT0200.

Surely these have posted already but that's my take on it.

I'm also going to add one more that many may think is not a value, but I think it is. I'm talking about the "tactical" style knives that John W Smith makes. These, brand new, are around the $500 mark. Why then a value? A lot of the $500 knives from 2-3 years ago, are now $600-$700 knives. The JWS knives could easily sell for those prices, yet the prices have stayed down. I call that a good value!

Some more that came to mind include slipjoints from Steel Warrior, and Hammer Brand, that I have. Don't have any Rough Riders, but hear they are just as good.
