Knife group for budget friendly knives

[James Y]

I haven't read the entire thread, but I own knives from CRKs to Victorinox SAKs, Case, Buck, old Schrades, and in-between. The one type of knife that I ALWAYS have on me is a Victorinox SAK; usually two different ones. My Alox Pioneer SAK cost me about $25. Victorinox's quality is almost mind-blowing considering their low prices and their enormous output. Even the knives I use in the kitchen are Victorinox, the most expensive one about $40.

I like what I like, and price has little to do with it. High quality and value for money come in all price ranges, and vice versa.

That seems to be just below average around here for the price threshold of using knives. I'd say the average seems to be around $130-$190 CDN.
It's kinda funny that people seem more willing to spend a bit more for a flipper that they intend to use mostly for fun.

For just under $120.00CAN you can have great knives such as the Spyderco Delica 4 FFG in VG-10, and the Benchmade Mini Griptilian 556 in 154CM.

Yep! Great knives for sure. I got a Bugout for just over $120 CDN.

I'll join, and I'll bring my Ka-Bar Folding Dozier. One of the best budget knives ever.

To answer the original OP, try edcforums.

Try Survivalist boards as well. Very friendly towards budget high value knives. I'll toss in the Buck 110 LT into the mix at $20.

Why?
Why would you suggest going to another forum to discuss knives, rather than the forum entirely dedicated to knives???

Because that's what the OP asked for in the original post. They have a large knife subforum and it is a huge worldwide forum.

So can anyone please recommend a more fitting knife group for me that gets more into budget knives? I looked online and could not find any

This part.

 

[stabman]

This part.

Except that the OP was operating under the mistaken impression that this is a forum hostile to knives that are cheaper, which is untrue.

Pretty sure he even changed his mind along the way with all the people professing their love of all things "knifey," at all price points.

Oh yeah, here it is...first page.

I'm sorry but this forum talks lovingly about inexpensive, affordable knives all the time. Kershaw, Buck, Kiser and others get a lot of love here. Your premise is incorrect.

Maybe this group is worth a shot then.

 

[KooKooforKukripuffs]

Well he has options now. I'm sure he can handle being a member of more than one knife forum.

Check out "manly" knives. They have a usa site and a 10percent discount for labour day weekend. Really good value fixed blades with kydex and folders. Awesome HT. You gotta be fast though, because these snobs here love a good deal and they not poor.

 

[Dry-cell]

YouTube is a great source of information as well, but I'm sure you, and everyone else here knows that already.

The Dozier Folding Hunter #4065, IIRC. The best out of the whole series, if you ask me. Better then the model with the thumb stud.

$4 for your Wally Knife? Maybe money does grow on trees for some here. But that's way out of my pay grade. My Wally Flipper was $3.87. Now that can be afforded by us middle class.

That Boker Plus Auto was one of my "go crazy" treat myself buys. It was something like $28 from BladeHQ a couple years ago.

Edit:. I feel that I should add that both of these bottom barrel bargains are lovingly displayed on one of my multiple display "Chepper Knife" shelves. I do have my snob knife section. But have tons of cheap knives. They allow me to try out different designs. And also let the kids grab whatever they want and go crazy.

Do I spy a Bram Frank Cherrusksr Messer on that shelf?

Second picture, middle shelf, to the back right.

Na, just a Mantis Snaggletooth. Picked it up for about $10. I know, I know, $9 too much. But it made me laugh, so couldn't resist. Not the first knife I've purchased just because it made me smile, and probably not the last.

Not to mention I also like EDC for simple reason they discuss other topics instead of knives such as flashlights, tents, clothing, hand guns, first aid, and other things that are not just limited to strictly knives. or a singular topic.

I actually find half the stuff on youtube to be full of snake oil charm of opinions trying to be converted into fact.

Well this poor boy gonna pass. I will stick to my Ebay and Wall Mart deals.

I actually had a Bob Dozier signed signature 2005 shot show folding hunter engraved on the blade I got on Ebay for cheap and lost it a few months ago.
