I'd say I actually spend $30-$80. I've gone over $50, but I have no desire to spend over $100 on a knife.
 
My vote was for 50-150 but its usually closer to 80-250. I have similar views to yours GM, quality over quantity, I also feel their becomes a point of diminishing returns as the first thing I usually judge a knife by is its performance. This usually only applies for folders because that's what I buy most but I have found "the one" so I'm switching gears to fixed blades for a while.
 
$300- $600 for me these days as I only buy Striders and Busses now except for a NEW CS Carbon V Recon Tanto that I just couldn't pass up.
 
I've never paid more than $120 for a knife. I just can't afford it. Most of my knives are in the $20-$80 price range. Anything more than that really has to stick out with some awesome features.
 
I didn't realize that I was in the cheap seats until I took this poll. In the next few days, I will be purchasing several folders just under $150.

Ditto.

Stuff happens to knives. They get used up. They get lost. There's only so much money that I'm willing to put at risk. I have no desire (nor funds) to put $100 into a knife.

To those that do have the funds and the gumption to put that much at risk in your pocket, More power to you. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
I hate to spend the money, but I've become so completely spoiled by quality steel that I just won't buy a knife unless it's made from CPM S90V or CPM M-4.

And these are very difficult to find under $150. :(:(
(Well, there is one exception, and that's Bob Dozier's D-2! )
