I don't know what to buy!

Welcome. :thumbup: Get a Spyderco Delica or a Benchmade Griptilian. Cannot go wrong with either one.

 

Get a buck 482, it's a great lightweight American made knife that only costs 20$.
Bucks 420hc is great for everyday carry as it holds an edge fairly well and is easy to sharpen, being new it helps to have a knife that's easy to sharpen. If you eventually decide you want something that holds an edge longer ( I haven't developed the need for anything more ) you may buy then have the sharpening skills needed.
Since your not in the US, can you actually carry a locking knife where you live ? Either way you may also want to look at Victorinox, their knives are of great quality and are very affordable.
BTW I googled that boker and it looks a re-branding of a piece of junk that my brother used to have, so I'd stay away from it ( yes 440a really isn't a very good steel, but can be fine for edc )

 

Spyderco Tenacious, Ontario Rat 1 and Kershaw Blur are the best of the low priced knives. Spend less than that and you risk getting something that is not worth the even lower price that you will pay for it.

 

I would recommend the Kershaw Link given your budget. 420hc steel, very good size for an edc knife and plenty of options in terms of materials. FRN handles or aluminum, drop point or tanto, plain edge or serrated, your choice. Plus a fantastic warranty to back it up.

 

I bet you could easily find a French opinel , they're known for they're quality and value at under 20$ msrp. There's also the classic German Mercator lockback that goes for around 30$ here in the states, which is also known for its quality and value.
These are both traditional folders, but are locking knives which are available in Europe and known for their quality and value.

 

save your money rather than buy those you listed.

 

yup, this. you can't go wrong!

 

If you like the knife, buy the knife...it is your collection.
If your going to "use" the knife and perhaps beat it up perhaps starting with a less expensive blade to start with would be a better way to go.
If it's going to be a display knife, easy use knife, etc. that steel will be fine...perhaps needing a bit more attention to the edge compared to the harder steels.

Let us know what you wind up getting.
Welcome aboard...

The Mercator lockback is a classic. You can get carbon or stainless steel. For higher price, you can get it with the brass handle.

The manufacturer Otter-Messer is in Germany. Right across the border.

 

RealSteel H6 or H6-S1
Kershaw Link
Byrd Cara Cara
Spyderco Tenacious
Manly manufactures the Comrade in Bulgaria, I'm not certain if available in Poland, but it's a fine knife
Some of the Kizlyar and Kizlyar Supreme knives from Russia are well made also.

I did a quick bit of looking and found some options that I'd recommend that fall under 160zl. Apparently USD prices don't translate directly as most of these are considerably cheaper here. Something that's 156,00zl ($40) there is often only $20 in the states.

I did however find these for sale on a Polish shop's site:

Kershaw OSO Sweet
Kershaw Thermite
Kershaw Nura 3.0
Kabar Dozier Lockback

All great knives and all within your $40 budget. I'd get the OSO Sweet. Great knife.

At around 200,00zl you can get an Ontario Rat II or something from the Spyderco Byrd line. I've never had a Rat II, but the Byrd knives are fantastic.
