Hey everyone hope you are well
First and foremost when buying a knife think of it as an Investment. Buy a good knife and take care of it and it will last a lifetime.
A knife is a tool which should be carried by everyone no matter how old or young. Give the young ones a Swiss army knife it will get most jobs done
I can tell you a very good knife that starts from $25 all the way to knives that are $300 each is very different. Something on the lower price end you can use till your hearts content as a good solid knife, and not have to worry about losing it or breaking and chipping. A knife which is $300 is a knife which will truly last a lifetime with proper care and it is basically a Rolex of knives. (The real one)
The fit and finish and also the warranty and the materials are the best around and will make sure this knife last you many many years to come.
I can also tell you exactly what knife to buy, but i would be making a very big mistake on my part.
Each person carries a knife for a different reason, work, small chores, self defense, food preparation. Since i do not know for what reason you are carrying a knife ex: opening mail, food preparation, cutting boxes, and etc i can not tell you what kind of knife will best suit you. Below listed are some of the best knives money can buy and are listed because they are the best in their respective categories. Small folders, large folders, Self defence, Fixed blade small and large, Best Fit & finish, Toughest, Everyday Utility, Ergos, Steels, Warranty.
I will make this very cut and dry and base it on my opinions. Price and Quality
$10-$20 Mora this knife company will surprise you on how good it is for this Price
$20-40, Byrd series knife made by Spyderco in Taiwan, Boker trance series & Boker Subcoms, Swiss army knives. CRKT Mversions
$40-100, Spyderco made in USA, Endura, Delica, Police, Native, Rescue, Cricket. The best company in my opinion
Kershaw leek, Scallion, Chive, Junkyard
Fallkniven
Bark river knives
Buck 110
Emerson La griffe
Benchmade 710
$100-200 Spyderco Military, Manix, Mini-manix, Para-military,
Benchmade
Zero tollerance (Folders)
Fallkniven (Fixed)
Bark river knives (Fixed)
Swamp Rat (Fixed)
Emerson CQC series
$200-500 These makers are in a class of their own.
Chris reeve knives: ONE WORD Sebenza, When you see this knife you will know exactly what i mean
Be sure to check out his fixed bladed one bar makes one knife with a hollowed handle. Sable & Shadow come to mind
Busse Knives: The steel is superior to many and if you buy a knife from them i guarantee you will be truly surprised at what it can do
ONLY FIXED BLADES ARE MADE BY THEM
Strider: They have the toughest folders ever. If you want the toughest folder that will cut, pry and do what it needs to do you need to check out this companies folding knives. There warranty is the best in the business.
Learn how to sharpen your knives it is a useful skill and saves you time & money
GET A SPYDERCO SHARPMAKER (This system is idiot proof) $40 - 60 you can not go wrong
These are my opinions, and though i maybe a stranger to you i wish you the best. After a bit of buying ccc type knives (cheap, Chinese, crap) i have learned these knives are cheap and are not worth even trying. Any specific models i have listed are ones I know personally as being the best in their class.
When it comes down to it buy a good knife & take care of it you never know some day your life may depend on it (Military, Police, Firefighters, Emt's & even ordinary individuals)
take care and all i ask from you is one favor. Please vote for this guide if it was useful to you so others may see it and not waste their hard earned money.
