What is your favorite inexpensive folder?

[T.K.C.]

SAK Soldier.

 

[Matador]

Tried and true, Spyderco Native S30V works for me.

Matador-

 

[Flashpoint]

I would have to say that the Kershaw Skyline with the Damascus blade would be mine favorite. I picked it up for a $45 shipped. I sure the regular one would be just as good of a knife and can be had for half that.

I really like my S30v Blur, CB Shallot, and my Spec Bump, but to me they getting up there in the moderate range of expense.

 

[yobbos1]

Opinel
Mercator carbon
SAK Solder or Pioneer
Case Soddie Jr.
Higonokami (don't know the brand, Lee Valley version)
All can be had under $20.

 

[boatsman]

Either the Byrd Cara Cara or the Spyderco Tenacious. Both have proven to be fantastic bargains at under $30.00

Any of the Byrds

I have the exact same Gerber in my kitchen draw.Always thought it was a great bang for the buck.

Great minds think alike or what? :thumbup:

The Gerber is indeed a very sturdy knife for the money. While the blades does sharpen easily, it does not seem to hold an edge as good as the Byrd.

With Aloha,

Sodbuster Jr. hands down . ( $17.84 at Lowe's ).

+1, in my pocket right now, shaves hair from my arm without a problem

 

[CrialJLA]

Kershaw Chive Blue black!

 

[mnyshrpknvs]

Since I do like the Shallot so much, I was thinking of having some scales added to it. I am thinking Linen Micarta sanded baby bottom smooth or CarbonFiber. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Tom Krein is the man for the job correct? I thought so! I can also see doing a few other things to it as well.

 

[IronSteve]

Tenacious for sure!

 

[shootist16]

The rat model 1 folder is the best bargain I've gotten in awhile. Lots of bang for the buck.

 

[donny bee]

spyderco centofaunteIII, thin vg-10, $46.00, just might be best best of show.

 

[C.S. Graves]

Opinel

:thumbup:

Also love the cheap and cheerful Douk Douk "Le Sorciere". Carbon steel, slim handle, retro turkish clip and etching... I was concerned about the thin handle at first, but I got used to it pretty quick.

 

[DanKwonDo]

SOG Twitch ll. Got it on sale for $9.99. A nice backseat rider!

 

[CombatGrappler]

The Delica 3 SE I got from a guy at work for 10 bucks because he didn't know any better

 

[walleyeguy7]

110 or opinel. opinel is cheaper, lighter, and thinner...but the 110 is awesome

 

[dip_n_ride]

For arguement sake keep it under $100.

Yikes! I had to coerce myself into buying a Spyderco Sage a couple weeks back because I've never ventured above $80 for a knife.

For me, cheap is below $30. And at that price point, the Ontario Rat-1 Folder and the Tenacious are hard to beat.

You must make good money!
