What is the Cheapest EDC that you carry?

My ghetto OTF:

They're, like, $2 at walmart. I added the pocketclip from a cheapie donor. I actually do carry it quite a bit. Very handy. It's a Stanley 10-016, actually smaller and thinner than the more common and widely copied model 99. Very easily pocketed, especially now with the clip.

No matter what else I carry, I always have a slightly modded Wenger Esquire. I got a confiscated lot on ebay of these things, about a buck apiece, modded one and decided I would not baby it, since there were many replacements. So far it's taken lots of abuse. The backups are still waiting to be put into service.

A Spyderco etched Spin (around $60? a couple years ago). Then a Spyderco Viel 2 (paid $75).
 
Probably this Case humpback "whittler" in G-10. Nice looking, solidly built, versatile and under $50.

Spyderco Tenacious at around $30.

Used to be the SAK, but I hardly carry that around anymore, if its not a one handed opener I find myself not wanting to carry it... I'll throw it in the coin pocket for certain occasions, though.

I guess my Centofante 4 was only a few bucks more expensive than my Tenacious, though. Found it for like $32 dollars. Love that knife.
 
My cheapest is probably my Alox Farmer. I found it on sale for around $15 I believe. I also have a Kershae Blackout that was pretty cheap I believe, maybe $40?
 
I Chinese Buck framelock called a Colleague.
 
Case peanut was only 19 shipped.
Queen sodbuster (in D2!!) was only 26 shipped
Various Victorinox knives all under 30 and even 20.
Buck toothpick was only like 10 bucks
Buck stockman was about 30 shipped

^I am always carrying one or more of those listed above.^
 
Gotta be a Chicago cutlery paring knife(+/-10$) or Cold Steel K5(-$10) fully serrated K5. Spyderco Tenacious is on work duty for light chores and boxes($35).
