If You Had 25$ To Replace A Manix...

The Manix blade is far better than anything ever put on a Buck 110 or 112.

Well, this statement is simply not true.
It is true that, in the $25.00 dollar range, you can only get a standard Buck 110 with 420HC blade-steel.
But you can't get a Manix for $25.00 dollars either.

So when you compare apples to apples and put the Buck 110 in the same price range as the Manix, you then must consider the Custom Shop Buck 110's and the Buck 110's offered by Cabela's and the BassPro Shop.

When do this you will discover that the Buck 110 is available in BG-42, S30V, ATS-34, and 154CMP.
AND, best of all, they are heat treated by Mr. Paul Bos, who is one of the best in the industry.

I would go for a Opinel 10 and a small prybar from any local hardware store. And when you lose the Opinel you still got money for a second.
 
I would get a Gebrer AR 3.00. $27 at Wal-Mart, buty mine cost $11:cool: (on clearance at Wally due to old packageing- replaced with clamshell).
 
if it has to be $25, i'd agree with the Kabar Dozier. If you can go up to $40, i think you might be able to come close to the manix, like a Benchmade Monochrome or a Gerber Gator (in N690 and 154CM, respectively)... or duh, the Native is basically a smaller Manix with a different grind -- not sure why i didn't think of it earlier -- $39 at walmart

You could add a Kabar Mule to the $40 list.
 
Byrd G10 Cara Cara all the way. It's one of the best knives on the market at any price. I swear by mine, it's replaced my Benchmade 710 as my EDC. I'm ordering a ton of these as well as the G10 Meadowlarks to give away as presents. Everybody's getting one for Christmas.
