Hi, I am planning to get a knife today and I am wondering what knife is the best out of these: Spyderco Cara Cara, CRKT Pazoda, CRKT Drifter, CRKT Bull. Thank you and if you have any recommendations for other knives of around the same price thank you.
 
I have the Cara Cara, and the Drifter, the other two I have no idea about. The Cara Cara is a much different and larger blade then the Drifter. Out of all four that you mentioned 3 out of the 4 blades you mentioned are smaller folders, so that seems like thats where you want to go, I have a Drifter and I freaking love it, my favorite small blade folder, just feels great I love it. Tight lock up, very quick deployment.
 
Congratulations on the first post!!! And welcome to Bladeforums!!, hope you find everything you are looking for.

First of all, I think the better question would be, What are you looking to use the knife for? By the looks of it, you just want a basic folder with a pocket clip that's easy on the wallet and you'd be able to use for a long time coming and wouldn't be a hassle to replace?

Personally my favorite out of those is the byrd cara cara or the drifter.
 
Of those, go with the Byrd Cara Cara if you want a bigger knife or the Drifter if you like them smaller. But if you can manage to put a little more money into your purchase, you may really want to consider getting the Spyderco Tenacious - it's arguably the best of the value knives. Pretty much everyone here will likely echo that same sentiment.

I would also stay away from the CRKT Bull, that 420J2 steel is not the best quality. The 8CR13MoV for the Cara Cara, and the 8CR14MoV for the Pazoda and Drifter are far superior.

Of those you list, I would choose the Cara Cara.

At a similar price point, I would look at the KaBar Doziers.
 
An other one that is a good choice is the Byrd Meadowlark. Same knife as the Cara Cara just smaller.
 
The G-10 Cara Cara is absolutely an excellent value. One tough folder for the money!:thumbup:

Big - Cara Cara
Small - Drifter

Both are $20 so I would get both and be happy. I do..
