Show me the cheap stuff you got for $10 or less

[W.M.B.]

I buy knives at antique stores for this price range often. Lots of usa schrade old timers and older hammer brands, etc. Also I got a free opinel from the big river, once. I was intending to simply buy it, but they gave it (or a gift card that was worth more than the cost of the knife I was buying. worked out to the same thing) to me to incentivize me to get their credit card, which I then canceled because I don't use credit cards. I almost felt guilty. I got over it pretty quick, though.

I bought this used for 6 dollars. The blade was in bad shape so I decided to redo it. Sorry for the bad picture quality.

I just impulse bought a $10 "Gordon Challenger" knife from Harbor Freight. It's a liner lock flipper with an 8cr13 blade and G10 scales, which piqued my interest at the price. It's actually pretty OK. The grind is decent, the G10 is grippy as hell, nice stonewash, and after a clean and lube it flips pretty well and locks up solid with no play. It came with a pretty pathetic edge but it was ground at the right angle so a few minutes on the Sharpmaker turned it into a razor. The only real hiccups are that lockup is a bit too early for my tastes and that blade centering is pretty horrible when the pivot is adjusted well. Still, pretty good for $10.

The bottom knife (a Victorinox "old cross" Solo) was a late-night $9.95 Buy It Now. The Pioneer on top was purchased at the same time, but it was $4.95 over the $10 limit.
