Nice fixed blade is hard on cutting but soft on my wallet

Definitely! Pics would be helpful.

Love the pics! I love the benchmades but I think I might go with the BK simply for the longer blade :D
 
I'll second the recommendation for a Benchmade Rant. I have one, it works. Not expensive. Good quality.

See, now I am second guessing everything. Why does purchasing a knife have to be so stressful :mad:?!?!? Maybe this means I'm not ready to buy?

It's great. I don't beat the crap out of my knives like some people do, but it handles light chopping well and holds a decent edge. It's easy to sharped too. The grip's great. The sheath's okay, but not great. I'd post pictures of mine, which has seen quite a bit of use, but I won't get home until about 10:30 and I probably won't remember to by them.

Here's a picture of mine that I sold here yesterday. For anyone in the personal security field, this would have been a great deal as I sold it with an On Scene Tactical sheath. It's gone now though.

Can someone show me where to buy new knives for ESEE prices that come with an unconditional lifetime warranty? :rolleyes:

The point is that the OP was for knife that costs less then $50. Period.

He didn't say he needed an unconditional lifetime warranty.

He didn't say it needed to be made in the USA.

ESEE is a great blade, but along with some other makes, it's starting to sound like a broken record sometimes. :yawn:

"I need a knife under $50."

Out comes:

ESEE
BUSSE
Falkniven
Swamp Rat
Scrapyard

All great blades, but absolutely WORTHLESS recommedations to someone who can only spend $50 on a knife.

Then comes "Save until you can buy one, it's money better spent in the long run."

Sure, in the meantime, grab a butter knife out of the kitchen drawer and file an edge on it so you have a sharp knife. :barf:

As a footnote, great warranty's are a sign that a company is willing to stand behind their products.

As another footnote, if I'm out in the middle of nowhere and, say, my "insert favorite brand here" fails me by breaking (god forbid!), making sure that I've got the pieces of it to send back in for my warranty is going to be the last thing I'm worried about.

Rant over now. LOL.

What it comes down to it, any reputable company that makes a knife suitable for your requirements at your price range will provide a quality blade that will get it done.

Find one YOU like and buy it, and have no regrets!
 
Take a look at Entrek knives. 440c with a great heat treat. Some are just a little over fifty, but they are great knives and they come with a sheath.
 
Get yee to a WallyWorld and get a Buck 119 'Special' for ~$34 and enjoy! I used mine yesterday to cut up chicken breasts for baked enchiladas - great knife! Les Stroud, Discovery Channel's 'Survivorman', used one on several of his episodes. Very traditional - and 420HC from Buck - with Paul Bos heat treating - is legendary. A great cutter/slicer - get a prybar if you need to pry!

You come across as young from your posts, and you say you work private security- I take it you are a mallcop or security guard?

My suggestion is to not scrimp, save your money while doing more research, and get the knife that is just right. Choose a knife based on its merits, not solely on its price.
 
Another vote for the Rant here. I picked one up a month ago. 440C drop point for $45. $50 and change delivered. Have to look around a little, 440 is discontinued. But, nice knife if you can live with the blade size.
