Budget Knives

Kershaw chill is a nice little flipper for about $20. It is long, thin, light, and with a narrow blade. It wont work well for prying or driving screws but it is a good edc knife.

CRKT Drifter is also a nice knife but somewhat small for larger hands.

Mora knives also work well for disposable knives, and a SAK will take care of prying and screwing.

Your friend would save himself a lot of money if he got a screwdriver instead of buying $20 knives all the time.
 
surprised no one mentioned the Mercator K55! Its got a good carbon steel blade, lockback, built like a tank and is about 20$
 
I think the friend wanted somethiing with a pocket clip, so the sodbuster is DQ'd (unfortunately...).

How much does the Kershaw Skyline go for again? I remember it being pretty affordable at Wally World.
 
Hm, just to let you guys know, if I'm not saying anything it's cause I'm working through all the information haha. This is good stuff.

sidecutter, if you're still here, sorry for being mean. It was late and I needed to sleep
 
For overall strength and toughness for around $20 you can't go wrong with the cold steel pocket bushman. It is not the fastest to deploy or close but it is one rugged knife.
 
I have a RAT-1. It's more knife than I fell like carrying on a daily basis, but it does have a clip and is an outstanding value. If the friend wants a knife that large, it's going to be hard to beat.

Have a Ka-Bar Dozier, too, and nothing bad to say about that one either. It would be an excellent choice. I'm a little leery of linerless FRN, but that's probably because I am old and set in my ways
