My picks...

Modern folders:
-Spyderco Delica 4 FFG
-Buck Vantage Pro
-Sanrenmu 763

Classic folders:
-Any Opinel

For thirty five dollars at the most get a kershaw cryo. I have had one almost since they where released and it's amazing.

 

[lcsmith84]

Kershaw Skyline, Spyderco Delica 4, and for the last I am going to cheat a little bit, but if you watch the threads you can get a used Benchmade Mini-Grip for a little more money ($60+)

 

[Rip Gut Tactical]

Enlan el-01 is also a good budget folder.

 

[displacedtexan]

Buck Vantage Pro

 

[shizuko]

Has anyone bothered to ask what type of use this knife is for? Business man? Swamp logger? College kid playing music on the weekend?

 

[Peruna1998]

Vic Classic, Opinel 8 or 9 and a Mora fixed blade (get all three under $50).

 

[Ulf Krogstad]

Buck Vantage Pro
Ka Bar D'eskabar
Utilitac II
Marttiini's or Mora's

:thumbup:
IMO these plus the Rat I and II are the best folders out there for the money (cant speak for the Ontario Utilitac... I don't own one yet). as for fixed blades, id have to say the Mora, Condor, ESEE and BKT offerings in this price range are hard to beat.
