Right, 8cr13mov steel, good looking 3.25" blade. In my opinion, nice valve and soild option for a budget edc blade

Any thoughts guys? :)

Yeah it's great. But perhaps next time put the content of your post NOT in the subject line. It gets cut off and is just bad juju.
 
That knife can do about 95% of the things people use their knives for as far as general EDC goes....
Anything more is called 'Knife Addiction' !!!
 
That's a nice stonewash on that blade. Congrats, man. Enjoy your Thistle and let us know how it holds up over time.
 
If you're in to flippers (or want to try one), get a Strobe. They're around $35-40 and flip beautifully.
 
Try out a Manifold, I love mine, its smooth, and its a great knife for the price. I also bought a Kershaw Tension, its a Cabela's exclusive, but if you find one, I'd pick it up too. Both are budget Kershaws, both are great knives. Nice thistle, I was considering getting one of those eventually.
 
I bought a Kershaw / Emerson colab for $19.
It was an impulse buy, but I was blown away when I received the knife.
I still look at and can't believe how inexpensive it was.
 
Kershaw is great with the budget blades. Oso Sweet, Clash, Thistle, Crown, Tremor...none of them cost me more than $25 and they're all great for the price.

The Strobe and the Emerson collabs are great too and I have them as well, but those tend to be in the $35-40 range new, and for me, that's no longer what I call a "budget" blade.
