Good knife under 300.00

[Vis07]

Wife is asking what knife I want for like under 300.00. I have Para 2 tanto m4, Military, ZT in Elmax, Super Freak, AD 10, Manix 2, Endela, Endura in special steels. SR-1, Recon 1, A few nice Kizers. And a ton of lesser stuff. Hit me with some ideas!!! Last time she said this I got a 20cv para 3 lightweight, and a few lesser knives.

You can buy > 90% of all folders with that budget. Need to be a little more specific what you like.

Or how about a nice fixed blade ?

Bradford Guardian 3 with Kydex and a tek lok and a six pack of good beer?

Love my Grip, but I prefer the 550 sheepsfoot. For under $300, you could get a fullsize Grip with G10 scales and CPM-20CV! Benchmade does all it's steels well, in my experience, but I really prefer G10 to the plastic/polymer / "textured glass fill Noryl GTX" ones...

Another poster was right, you have a LOT of choices with $300 to spend! Good luck, I hope you find what's best for YOU.

Do you really want/need another knife?

Michael Morris Hunter 8 fixed blade and take that wife of yours out to dinner with the rest

Do any of us ?

YES! I do!

( okay, well, maybe not - but it won't stop me buying them )

Back to the OP's question: are there any ZT's you've had your eye on? The 0562 is one of my favorites.

Spyderco has several available right now. Tuff, yobimbo, gb2, pm2 Cru Carta coming out soon.

But I thought that you reeaally wanted a DEK1 in D3V??

 

[000Robert]

A basic Carothers DEK1 with D3V steel is about $300. A DEK1 with AEB-L steel is a little cheaper. Mine has the Swedge and Penetrator Tip.

Still do, didn't know a DEK was on the exchange so I ordered a Bradford.

Here you go. It doesn't say that it sold yet but it may have been. I see probably 3 or 4 for sale a week.

Great ideas so far guys. I like folders, fixed blades and traditionals. I have about 5 fixed blades and maybe 6 traditionals. Keep the ideas coming!!! Do I need any more knives? No. Do I want more? Absolutely haha!

Emerson Sheepdog, because everyone needs a folding Bowie.

An Emerson Appalachian would also do…
