Small, Inexpensive Fixed Blade

[jnich67]

I'm asking this because I often enjoy the chase as much as the purchase - I need a fix. I like small pocket/necker fixed blades. I don't want to spend much this week, so what do you all like in this catagory for around $30-$40? I have the usual suspects already - Izulas, BK14/11, etc. Thanks!

There's the scrap yard "Scrapivore" or the black jack 155...

Ok... I recommend that you get a small, inexpensive, fixed blade.

Ag russell woodswalker. I have one on the way.

Boker Plus Magyar or Gnome?

 

[Humppa]

Böker Plus Gnome would also be my recommendation when it comes up to small fixed blades.

I second this. Very nice knife for the money, mine spends a lot of time in the kitchen.

condor (el salvador) makes a whole line of carbon steel small fixed blades with kydex sheaths around $20 i think.

 

[Zuluninja]

Benchmark Backpacker, the one with micarta scales. Usually runs below 20$ and the sheath can be used as a necker or boot affair

CRKT minimalist or S.P.E.W

I vote for Kershaw Skyline fixed blade. 30 bucks I believe. Black or orange G10 scales. Leather sheath. 3.25" blade. Seems like a fit for your request.

Good one. Also A.G.'s Hunter Scalpel. 2.5" AUS-10 blade, 4.75 overall, plastic neck/clip sheath, $20.

cold steel kobun isnt terrible, 5.5 inch blade for around $40

Yep, I got the Skyline fixed a couple months ago. Great deal.

These are some great suggestions for me to check out. Thanks for the ideas.

There's the scrap yard "Scrapivore"

This gets my vote. Looks like and cuts like a scalpel even with my mediocre (at best) sharpening skills.

If you don't have one already I'd strongly recommend the Svord hiker!

Its the brain child of a member at a certain forum, cKc, who started making small fixed blades from Svord peasant knives

I know you said small and inexpensive.

but have you considered a busse??

heh, sorry. I have nothing else to add to the recommendations here, unless you want my extra 9cr18mov Spyderco mule with no scales

 

[jnich67]

Does anyone have the BHK Tiger Knapp?

CRKT SPEW or Boker Plus Gnome are both great little knives.

I really like my Kershaw 1081 Mini Skinner. Has black or orange g10 on the handle. I picked it up on sale at a local store for $25 but even not on sale I think they run in the $35 range. I hate the leather sheath it comes with though and need to get one made out of kydex. The Kershaw 1082 Field Knife is also very nice but might be a little bigger than your looking for with a 3.25 inch blade. Right around the same price as the Mini Skinner.
