Just placed an order on these from Knifecenter:

Spyderco Delica, brown, plain edge

Kershaw Chill

CRKT Drifter, stainless handles

CRKT m16 special forces, tan

Ontario RAT-1

Any opinions?
 
I was basically thinking of just getting the Delica, but the shipping to norway is expensive, so i thought what the heck and got some high value beaters too
 
I only have the Delica (it is sabre grind) and think it's a great folder. I have a sabre grind Endura and FFG Endura, where the FFG shows some benefit in slicing. For the Delica, being the blade is thinner to begin with, I could not justify getting FFG.

Whichever one yours is (most likely FFG being its brown) you will love it.

I have the Kershaw Chill. It's the best sub $20 knife I've ever had. Thin, light, sharp, easy to open and feels good in the hand despite its size, just not that sturdy.

Be careful though, after a couple days in my back pocket the blade developed rust spots. Never had a pocket knife that developed rust before so I was surprised. However, I just took a little moist baking soda and rubbed it off, cleanded the blade and oiled it and have had no further rust.
 
The RAT 1 folder is one of the best <$30 knives available today IMHO. If you get a good one, you might be shocked. And I don't mean "good one" like it doesn't happen most of the time because it does. This is a Taiwanese (MUCH better than China) made knife for a Chinese price and you get AUS8 too. The F&F on mine is astounding for a <$30 knife.

Although I haven't had those particular CRKT's, I personally classify them at the bottom of the barrel in the list you provided. Just IMHO. Some of the Ken Onion collabs and a few other CRKT knives are decent but the Spyderco and Kershaw will win against CRKT each and every time. And IMHO, even the Ontario does.
 
I actually canceled this order, and placed a new one with Spyderco Delica 4 brown and a Sage CF S30v :) cant wait!
