All of them, high value low cost quality blades are what I love.
When I first started to learn about knives as a teenager I was mostly hearing about expensive stuff, I figured there had to be good knives that weren't expensive and discovered there most certainly we're.


Heres this week's EDC.

Buck 55 (the 120 isn’t EDC’d), 501, 3 dot 110. I usually pair any of them with a more expensive and/or modern folder such as a Military or 0562 when going to work. I will usually carry my smaller auto when I carry the 3 dot.

Although I have and use several "budget" knives, this Buck Vantage Select is the one that's in my pocket most of the time.

Next most carried is this Delica 4, SG, actually my first dedicated folder from @15 years ago,

and sometimes this Native that I got cheap because of a chippy blade, but it sharpened out into a thing of beauty.

I have a few others that I used to carry - Bucks, mostly - but they don't really get a lot of use anymore. Put it down to lifestyle changes.

How budget is budget? ;)

My Byrd FRN Cara Cara 2 is a trusty backup I keep in my car for those rare days when I forget my knife, but the knife that sees the most pocket time and use by far is my Spyderco Urban in K390. I wouldn't say it's cheap, but it was under $70 and it's on me pretty much every single day.
 
Here is, of course, the folder for the lowest of budgets in the land. I started carrying it a year ago as an experiment to see how long a beater this cheap could possibly last. I’ll save the details but this guy has taken a beating. To put it out of its misery, I’ve started throwing it for practice. That’s why the split ring is so bent up. Some great budget knives here. Especially that Native(?!)(OOO-LALA!)

My latest "budget" EDC, the Kershaw Link.
At $40, it's an awesome knife.



Around the house, a Lightning.
