I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Essee avispa. I really like my Rat 1 for outdoors, but the avispa (though it feels the same weight) is slimmer for EDC. Get both .

OOOPS! double post.

Another vote for the Kershaw Tremor. Worth way more than what you pay for it.

Hi all!

My friend asked me today to recommend him a larger folding knife for under $50.
He carries a CRKT M21 tanto now and he would like a blade similar in size.
Uses could include anything and everything.

Fire away!

The Cold Steel Recon 1 (4" blade) can be had at a special price of $41 right now. The Mini Recon 1 (3" blade) is special priced at $31 or so. The Voyagers start at $27.

I 5th the Rat 1 and even larger Cold Steel Recon 1. If you want to go BEAST Get the Recon 1 XL.

DocT, would you send me a private message through the forum and tell me where you saw a 4" Cold Steel Recon for $41? I have been looking at those for a while, but didn't want to spend the bucks for one!

Thanks -

Robert

CS large Voyager. Decent steel in full flat grind, bullet-proof lock and fairly light.

Great suggestions guys, I'll have to see why he thinks tonight at work.

Honestly, why does ANYONE think at work at all?

Well, here's another vote for the Kershaw Tremor. Here's mine that I've had for 2 years now as my only EDC next to my Becker Bk10.

I really like my Cold Steel Pocket Bushman. Buck 110 is great too.

The Rat 1 is a great knife, but I recommend the Cold Steel Large Voyager over it. The steel is essentially the same, but the Voyager has better texturing, bigger thumb studs and a stronger lock for just a few dollars more. But if you can get a Recon 1 on sale, as a previous poster mentioned, then I'd get it over the Rat 1 and the Voyager. It's one of my favorite knives. It's tough, it's relatively thin and the ergonomics are outstanding.

Spyderco Resilience.

+1
Very light, and it probably has the largest blade of all mentioned. If that is important to you.
