What is the Cheapest EDC that you carry?

[Robert.B]

just bought a red jigged bone rough rider baby sunfish for $9.95 looks like a decent slip joint for 10 bucks! i did want a S&M baby sunfish but do not have the money for one, saw these and figured why not?

Still carrying my older Boker USA stockman. Paid a $1.00 for it and gave it the TLC it was in need of. Has been a good knife!

Mine would be a Chinese Buck #307 from Wally World. I bought it on clearance for $7.50. Great little knife. I also have Buck Canoe from Osh that I picked up for $9. And a Kershaw Scallion I got from a Wally World clearance for $15. For the price, all of these are great knives.

$10 Victorinox Waiter

It opens mail, beer, and wine.... what else could you ask for?

Hi symphonyincminor -

I agree - I have had one in my pocket for 10 years, and I have used everything the knife offers, including the tweezers to remove an unfortunate splinter from a biker-babe at Hog-Rock one year...True story!

best regards -

Cheapest? An $11 after-Christmas closeout from WallyWorld - a Buck 110 from a Christmas 'collector's tin'. I bought ten of them - great gifts over the next year, but they had ~30+ of them - I left the rest for 'manners'. The next guy bought them all! I wish I had kept more than one (Buck 110 gluttony is a well documented malady.). Next up the ladder would be various Vic SAKs - then a regular sale-priced 110. Now I carry BMs.

Spyderco Ladybird on my keys

I have an old Schrade 180T pocketknife that I paid $10 for. Nice patina, great classic delrin scales. Had a stockman of the same vintage go walkabout on me a couple of months back, so I'm carrying this one a little less often.

For me it's my Vic PE OHT, use it all the time, always in the pocket among some other knives

Cost me $9.00 on the bay, shipping included.

Yellow Case Sodbuster in CV...it may be cheap , but it isn't cheaply made.

Vic Farmer...

But only with my Sebenza

 

[sweet_hitch-hiker]

probably my leek

 

[Brules1]

I carry one of the Chinese Sebenza copies. It's a great knife for the money.

Vic Midnite Mini Champ picked up on sale at Amazon for $19, always on keychain. Spyderco Byrd Flight w/G10 scales I picked up for around $28 that I'm carrying until I send in my Mini Griptilian for new omega springs after the Christmas mail madness is over.

The Benchmade is probably the most I've paid for a knife, actually. In the military, I usually carried a Vic Fieldmaster (still have one, don't EDC it now though) along with something like a Buck 110 or comparable knock off from Puma or Schrade/Old Timer, and for the longest stretch a Gerber LST Magnum. My only fixed blade for years was my Buck 119. I tend to replace lost/stolen knives rather than accumulate them. I can't convince my wife that ten or so knives isn't "too many"...
