EDC for $50

[JoepReinen]

What do you think is a nice EDC for 50$ or less.
Aside from the Cryo and Tenacious.
If you own such a knife, let me know what's great about it
Pic's are always good:thumbup:

 

[iCandiBallPythons]

Kershaw piston or knockout

 

[RobME]

Kershaw Skyline. It's light, small (but fills the hand - unless you have exceptionally large mitts), unobtrusive, well-made, comfortable to hold, sharp out of the box, easy to deploy and ambidextrous (if you're coordinated enough to close it lefty... which shouldn't be too difficult with a bit of practice.

 

[flarp]

Leek, Blur, Skyline, Delica

The Composite Blade Leek is a bit over $50, but the difference is worth it, in my opinion, to get the D2 cutting edge. The Delica runs a bit over $50 as well, but it is so much better than the Tenacious that it's well worth the extra cost, if you are leaning towards a Spyderco.

Look at the Kershaw Emersons, they're quite nice IMHO
Also, Avispa, Zancudo,Rat1/2

[A-MAC]

Buck Vantage Select. Around $25, great ergonomics, made in the USA. The black blade and the satin blade are different shape though, I prefer the black blade.

 

[SOFileworks]

Cold Steel Large Voyager, love mine, blade steel is good, clip point blade style is handy and the lock is awesome.

 

[Killtation]

Not sure if anybody has mentioned it but my go-to suggestion for a budget EDC knife is the Ontario Rat 1. Great knife in every way, especially when you consider the price.

I know the following have been said but if you're looking for input here is how i would rank the suggested knives so far...

BM Griptilian
CS Recon
CS Voyager (if you can find one for that price)
Ontario Rat-1/Rat-2
Buck 110
Buck Vantage (Pro version is suggested)
Kershaw Blur
Kershaw Knockout
Kershaw Piston
Kershaw Leek

Etc... etc... These are my top 10 picks. Didn't include the Skyline because i think it's a disgustingly ugly knife... i however must admit that it is decent quality and will fit your needs.

 

[EChoil]

RAT's 1 and 2, Utilitac, Avispa, Zancudo, Buck 110.

 

[savage99]

The case sodbuster Jr runs a little over 30 and its cv steel gets scary sharp

 

[upnorth]

Probably your best bang for the buck.

But these have a lot more outdoor applications.
