Do you buy cheap knives anymore?

[Robert.B]

I bought a boker magnum pocket khukri and for 18 bucks its a great large folder with nice course g10 scales.

I buy less expensive knives as a rule. I have 4 Moras that I like, a Condor Bushlore, which is a great knife for the money, a
Helle Taiga cause it's so pretty, feels good in the hand and is sharper than all get out, an ESSE 6, a nice little stag handled Boker, Buck 192, etc. With the exception of the ESSE, all my knives are in the $15-80 price range. I drool over the more expensive knives I see here on the forum, so will probably buy one or two of them as finances allow. I'm taking off on a motorcycle camping trip next week and will probably take three or four knives with me to play with in camp.

Mora Flex, Kershaw Skyline, Kershaw RAM, Spyderco Moran Featherweight. Bit on the high side, but for me anything less than $60 is "cheap".

I go for the High Alloy steels (High Carbide content) so I would say not usually, but there are some that are less expensive then others.

 

[Shotgun]

Oh, yes. I'll put it this way: I don't buy expensive knives anymore. These days, $50 is about my upper limit unless I find something really special.

Same here.

"cheap"

.

Victorinox, Moras, Cold Steels economy line (Finn Wolf and Finn Bear, they end up as gifts most of the time), EKA.

My Vic Spartan gets used more than my spydie folders on a daily basis and I bough a couple of Opinel No.8's on holiday in Spain recently (stainless as a picnic knife and carbon as a desk knife.) The Vic is about £15 and the Opinels about £9 each. They are all brilliant.
