Favorite Cold Steel under $30

I will be the first to say Roach Belly. Very hard to beat as a slicer and you can get 2 for less than 30 bucks.

You beat me to it! Love the roach belly, incredibly useful design. The only things I don't like about them is how slick the grip is (fixed mine with grip tape, or you could stipple the handle) and the sheath makes it hard to get a secure grip on the handle until it is already partially withdrawn. I may go with a kydex sheath in the future.

The Spetsnaz shovel.

Its incredibly useful.

Now this is truth ! I think that I have 4 ? of the originals, and one of the newer long handled versions. I think that the bigger one will be going into the trunk of my wife's car this winter. Possibly going with the theme of this thread is a C.S. Pendleton mini hunter that I'm waiting for to arrive. I'm currently fascinated with it's size. Smaller than my SRK-C, but bigger than my ESEE Izula's etc. Maybe it's a sweet spot size wise. I'm curious.
