decent wharncliffe for around $20?

[TheGoldenWalrus]

does anyone know of a decent wharncliffe for around 20 bucks?

(2.5 - 3 inch blade would be preferred but ofcourse beggers cant be choosers)

edit: i am not interested in the Kershaw needs work

Not sure if you're interested in a slip-joint, but the Spyderco Kiwi 3 is a nice little wharnie for around the $20 mark...

You can get the Kershaw Needs Work for around 30 brand new or used for around 20. Great knife, I love the ease of sharpening warnies offer.

Cold Steel Mini Tuff or Kershaw Needs Work for $10 more.

mk well i already know the "needs work" is out due to it being assisted opening (its not illegal here but im just not a fan of assisted knives)
ive already had my eye on the kiwi 3 a bit, and the M025 looks pretty good.

(also fixed blade knives are good with me, so recomendations for those are completely acceptable)

ok after further thought for fixed blades blade length should probably be 2 -2.5 inches

Kershaw Leek Blem.
Might be $25, but it's a great 3" wharncliffe.

 

[TheGoldenWalrus]

i think the enlan might be out aswell...
so now im actualy down to 3 choices, the CRKT minimalist, the spyderco kiwi 3, or the CS Tuff Lite

im still accepting any and all recommendations

 

[TheGoldenWalrus]

sorry not into assisted knives, thanks for the recommendation though

Springs are easy to remove. Turned one of my LEEKs into an non-AO without a problem.
Another thumbs up for the Kershaw NEEDS WORK. A great VALUE Wharny.

Get a Needs Work or a Leek and take out the torsion bar.

Sanrenmu 721 can be found for less than $10. Very pocketable, framelock, extremely pointy Wharncliffe.

 

[Morkte]

The CRKT Minimalist is a great wharncliffe fixed blade for $20

Check out the CRKT P.E.C.K About 2 inch blade under $20.

If you can get a Meyerco Wharning, it's a very good one for the money.
