Rough Rider is my go-to cheap knife. Fit and appearance is good. Sharpen to razor sharpness fairly easily and retain an edge pretty well, so long as you are not comparing them to super steels.I'm new to knife collecting, I like Bush craft, the outdoors and am into carving.
I recently brought two knives, both flipper knives. One is an MTec USA, the other an Elk ridge. I realise these are cheap budget knives and am ok with that as I slowly build my collection. I first brought the M tec which was very cheap, then I went for a more expensive Elk ridge. Can I just say, in my humble opinion the Mtec quality was outstanding! then the Elk ridge arrived and even my untrained eye could see this really was cheap trash! Any opinions on both makes please? Also, could anyone advise me on other good budget brands?
Lastly, it was VERY difficult to buy flipper knives here in England as I think they are illegal or borderline illegal? I'm so envious when I see them readily available in the US.
Thanks Guys
This. Add MAM to that list as well.Opinel, Mora, Victorinox and Cold Steel are good cheap to midrange brands.

Also this. We have several in our family and they have been serially impressive.Ka bar dozier folding hunters. Either size.
Anyone hear much about Ganzo?
Some with D2 steel and ballbearings.
I watched lots of American Guys reviewing this brand on YouTube, obviously not the quality of Spyerdo and Bench made, but they say they are incredible quality made knives for little ££
