Recommend me a cheap, small folder that

Need a new EDC beater: 2.5 - 3" blade, less than $30, that's not a CRKT Drifter. Also preferably not from Kabar, Spyderco, Benchmade, Cold Steel, or Ontario. Kinda in the mood to try a new brand

Kershaw Barrage. You can get them at Wal-Mart and they are great knives for the money. You might look at some Boker Plus stuff, but I doubt you'll find them better then the Barrage.

 

[effer]

I guess Kershaw is what you're looking for They have several that might work for you.

 

[Josh K]

Uh.... Kershaw Needs Work?

Now mind you he did rule out most of the reasonably priced good EDC with that

Case Sod Buster Jr.

Haha, yes I realized that too. More challenging and fun for the knife gurus!

The barrage looks great, but is a bit out of my budget. I've bought too many knives recently and need a beater priced like a beater. I'm thinking Buck Bantam BLW so far.

 

[D1omedes]

I've heard a lot of good things about the Kershaw Skyline. I'm not sure how much of a "beater" it is but a lot of people love it as an EDC.

 

[J_Curd]

The Skyline is a beater. I know a mechanic/welder that has carried one for a year and tried his best to destroy the edge....a sharpening later and it's back to work.

Gerber LST. Can't speak to any other Gerbers, but the LST is a good one, made in Portland.

Earlier thread on the LST:

Boker Plus

another

or maybe a Timerline

 

[randomlooker]

Many Victorinoxes. Anything from Rough Rider. Case Sodbuster. byrd (Does that fall under the no spyderco part?).

 

[Lock1454]

Boker Trance
Kershaw Skyline
Buck Vantage Avid/Select
Buck Bantam

Way to strip away tons of the good brands =P

 

[gazz98]

Like flashpoint said, Boker Trance. Great knife for the $.

Not a fan of CRKT really but the M21 and M18 aren't bad (I have a M18). A M21 with 3" blade of 8Cr14MoV w/ g10 handles is $27 +/-.

 

[SteelSnob]

Boker subcom or hyper

 

[r-winter]

a small mora knife with a 2 3/4 inch blade, just cant kill em, about $10 - $15

 

[Sevorius]

Vic Cadet, Case Sodbuster Jr or if you want something that locks try out an Opinel

 

[CWL]

Rough Rider. for $30, you can get 2-3 and they are not junk knives.

 

[Bill1170]

Victorinox, and you get other useful tools, too. Lots of models to choose from in your price range.
