What is the Cheapest EDC that you carry?

atm? $21 Vic Pioneer Red Alox. My Signature Sapphire was around $27 when converting to USD's (darn VAT)
 
Right now its a CS Spartan.

In the past thought it might have been anything from a Vic Soldier, BM Grip or even a Timberline Delta.
 
Including EDC fixed blades? If so, my cheapest fixed blade knife that I almost always carry while walking my dog is one [or sometimes 2] of my 3 CS Desperados. These knives, made out of some version of 420, would be dismissed out of hand by most steel snobs. However they are among my very favourite fixed blades. The egg shaped handle makes them low profile and the sheath is perfect for inside-the-waistband carry. The nogales ,fully serrated blade also makes them awesome slashers, perfect for hacking brambles and small branches on somewhat overgrown trails. IMO they are also one of the scariest, most menacing looking knives I've ever seen.
CS unfortunately discontiued them a few years ago. I always thought they might bring out a version in a somewhat more prestigious steel. Nevertheless the 420 in no way diminshes my admiration. Please LT,next year do a bringback in San Mai III !
 
I used to have a few Rough Rider knives, which cost anywhere from about $6 to about $13. They were all pretty neat, but I ended up giving them away to reduce down the collection. Seems that the most inexpensive knife I carry and use on a regular basis is an old Opinel #8 that I've had for years. Lately though, I've reverted back to a Case barehead slimline trapper CV with yellow handles.
 
Vic Super Tinker.(Dirtcheap and yet precious as it is a present from an American friend who was a father figure to me.May God rest his soul since he has passed away)
 
I very often have a second knife on me for purely slicing needs (usually a Spyderco Salt 1), but I always have my Victorinox Alox Farmer in my pocket. Picked it up for under $20.
