Inexpensive.....not cheap. Cheap has a connotation of poorly made with substandard materials.

First Bull Nose Work Knife from GEC as a SFO for Mike Latham. Pretty cheap when they hit the streets not so now.

Given the way things are headed now-a-days this knife is a bargain.

Definitely not a cheapskate; I think you're very generous with these high-performance, low-cost knives!
And, as promised, here's another one! This one was made in Poland, and I appreciate the big spear blade, the simple and comfortable plastic handle, and the useful shackle.

My favorite China knife. I bought it to give it to my sister. She never got it. Not a great photo of it.
