Good knife for 20 bucks?

[A.P.F.]

I like my Condor Rodan and my CS Pocket Bushman a good deal. The Pocket Bushman is a bit controversial amongst some folks but I love mine. The Rodan is a constant companion in the woods.

My Pocket Bushman and Kudu get used way out of proportion to their price. In fact, the Bushman was used tonight to slice-up a chicken. These are two of the least expensive knives I own, as well as being two of the most used.

I love this rough rider canoe. It's beating out many of my much more expensive knives.

Mora!

Bee L05 (Black) or L05-1 (Wood). You could almost get 2.

Other suggestions are good too. You are actually quite spoilt for choice, it's a hot market space.

hard to beat 1095 in a $20 knife

what kind is that?

 

[kreole]

^Queen City Mini Toothpick with a delrin handle

Swiss Army Knife, you can get an alox Pioneer for about $20.

+1 on the Kershaw Chill and Opinels.

 

[jacktrades_nbk]

for a folder, i would go for an alox SAK, like the old soldier, or a pioneer
it has more tools, a full flat grind that makes the blade a wonderful slicer, and its sheeple friendly, plus easy to slip in a pocket and have all the time

opinels and douk douks are nice too

but i would still go for the sak
as for a fixed blade, well...not to carry all the time, a GI tanto is tough to beat

or, smaller,a cs canadian belt knife is nice

For about 25 bucks, you can get a Spyderco Ladybug. Great little knife :thumbup:

Are those US made? Is Queen City part of Queen Cutlery? Don't see them on the website.

^Their website says, "All Queen products are made at the Titusville [Pennsylvania] factory."

Byrd Cara Cara 2 :thumbup:

+1 byrd=bomb

and you know the byrd is the word

 

[JMAN86]

Mora 840 ~ $12.00

 

[fixed blade king]

hands down the two best knifes for 20 bucks are the cold steel bushman or the frost mora cilipper (carbonsteel)

 

[Thanatophagous]

I would say Mora 511 & Opinel No 8 combo, 2 knives, great value and deep under 20
