Budget Flippers

[Lapedog]

The Ontario Carter Prime is just a rediculous knife for the value.

Ramzar,

Those knives look amazing. I'm going to have to try one of those out. Thanks!

 

[Slumblor]

When the Steel Will CutJack drops it will be something to consider

 

[FullMetalJackass]

Try a Proelia. I'm still amazed by their quality for the price ($149).

I think the real steel H5 is worth a look.

What does the OP define as "budget"?

 

[Pericles]

Under $20 : Kershaw Chill
Under $50 : Real Steel E571 or E771 Sea Eagle, depending on the size of knife you like.

Ruike P801. At around $30 it's an amazing value.

Kershaw Fraxion designed by Jens Anso just showed up at dealers and looks promising with a 2.75" blade of 8Cr13MoV, CF/G-10 handle, liner lock with KVT (same as in more expensive ZTs) all for about $30-$35.

I don't know about the OP but I see some knives in this thread I want.

My first flipper was the CRKT Hootenanny and it served me very well (until my mechanic husband started to EDC it and broke it). After that I tried out ZT knives and midtechs and don't think I'll ever go back to budget flippers.

That said though, the market is booming these days with great knives that are very affordable, so it's certainly a buyers market!!

ZKC D01 designed by steadmon
Comes in a lot of flavors. About 70 dollars. On bearings.

Yes, the CRKT Hootenanny is good, as is their Outrage. Both great budget flippers.

Also, Lansky's Mikkel Willumsen collabs are really nice flippers on the cheap.

Street prices for both CRKTs are in the $35-40 range. The Lansky Responder can be had for as low as $17-20, and the X9 is around $30-35.
