new crop of under $50 folders out...comparison?

[diamdave]

Benchmade Vex, Kershaw Groove, Timberline Kickstart.... seems like under or around $50 street price is a hot price point. Anyone doing any comparisons for these three, or others?

Emerson Knives came out with a line called Hard Wear that sell for under $50 (if you shop around). Emerson's my favorite folder manufacturer, and you can't touch most of his knives for under $100. The Hard Wear line has 3 models, they're relatively small, light, and very sturdy, made from AUS8-A stainless steel.

delica 4 or the native in s30v. Although I do like the kickstart its pretty thick and heavy for its size I liked it enough to buy it but it wouldnt break my heart to trade it either.

The vex is fantastic. The Spyderco/Byrd line is very nice too. I am picking up a crossbill, I think.
