Cheapest knife that you can rely on

[DangerZone98]

Looking at the title of this thread, I flashed back to a chili contest I used to put on. There were four categories:

Best chili.
Cheapest chili.
Best cheap chili.
Cheapest good chili.

Best cheap chili definitely.

I don't think I'd even want to smell any of the contestants in the "Cheapest chili" category.

Opinel no 8 garden knife,one of cheapest and best performing and useful knives ever for any task.

Cheapest? Easy. 1 jar chipotle salsa; 1 jar habanero salsa; 1 can chili beans, drained. Add 1lb seasoned ground beef, cook it slow until it's thick, add a little water and a cap full of lemon juice. Cook a little longer. Add Tabasco Habanero to taste....

Moras are awesome deals. My Kansbol’s still going strong. Never tried Buck yet though.

The Bucklite Max. Less than a $20 bill.

USA-made for less than twenty bucks? Nice.

This is a $3 knife. I added the single finger groove. It is scary sharp, indestructible, and dishwasher safe.

I bought a case of them. Figuring they were disposable. Boy was I wrong.

The first one still looks brand new. It has opened a thousand boxes then broken them down for recycling. Not just the tape but cut the cardboard into pieces. It’s gone through the dishwasher at least twice a week for 2 years. Never been sharpened and still cuts a tomato paper thin.

Its part of Dexter Russels sani safe line. It is absolutely rock solid dependable. Every kitchen, tackle box, first aid kit, tool kit, survival kit, boat, car, truck etc. should have one of these in it.

You made me buy one.

Tough as nails, easy to sharpen, really corrosion resistant, good sheath....

Lots to like for little cash.

-Are these still available at this price point?
...& where? Thanks.
I agree with alot of the above mentions in folders, some Spydercos, Cold Steels, Utilitac,
Rats, Opinels, Buck, Kershaws, S.A.K.s, & the award winning Kabar Dozier, and a Mora fixed is quite popular for good reason

Deal spotting is not allowed here. Yes they are still around for close to that price. I had to buy a bunch to get free shipping. Bait shops sometimes have a bucket of them on the counter.
