"Under $30 blades"

crap, I just realized I don't own any less than about $50 except for the spyderco ladybug but I consider that a novelty and not really a knife. Sorry Sal.
 
I just got a CRKT Hammond Cruiser for $19.99 ($28 after shipping and tax) this week. So far it has been very impressive for the price.
 
SAK's. I own both Vics and Wengers and the Wengers have held up fine. Also, the small Becker Necker if you want to include fixed blades.

Can't tell you how many times I've been standing around in a knife shop and watched some poor sap who wanted a single-blade folder spend $20 or so on a no-name POS knife because it LOOKS A) tough B) ninja-like C) commando-like or D) like a knife "ought to look" in his mind - meaning it looks like a Buck 110 or something like that. Meanwhile, for the same money (or less), he could pick up a knife of very good quality such as an Opinel or, if he prefers stainless, a Victorinox Alpineer.

If you know what you're doing and you have realistic expectations about fit&finish and lock-strength, you can get a LOT of knife for $20.
 
All of my preferences have already been stated for the most part ie: SAKs,Moras,Opinels, etc.

The only new ones I can odd onto the list are the new Ahti/Hackmann style Butterfly knives for $18 at Ragweed, and the Brusletto Balder. (granted, that one is my wifes) Both of them fantastic little EDC blades

I love threads like these. Typically provide proof of lotsa good inexpensive blade options that aren't from China.
