What To Get?

[Fishstalker]

I've got a $50 Amazon gift card burning a whole in my pocket. So What should I get??? Knife, multitool, or LED flashlight.

A knife obviously Get a Spyderco Endura 4 FFG. Pick your favorite color. Definitely a great knife for around the $50+ mark

This is Bladeforums. Of course we are going to recommend getting a knife!

Pitch in a little extra and get a Becker-KBar BK2 or you could get a Condor Knife & Tool Rodan and have a bit left over for a Mora utlity knife.

I received a leatherman wingman for Christmas. I've been really happy with it. You could just about buy it and a side kick for $50.

I purchased a Becker BK2 about two years ago off of amazon. Well worth the money and I have used it a crap load! Here are some pics of mine

It is a great knife for around $60.

I've already got an Endura and Wingman. I hadn't considered the BK-2 or Condor. Thanks for the ideas guys and keep them coming.

Easy. Buck Vantage Pro large for $52 shipped. I'd get one, too, but I already have one...

Boker Subcom Titan...best knife/money clip combo I've ever owned

The KA-BAR Phat Bob is a pretty nifty and slightly offbeat folder for under 50 bucks also you could try a traditional slip joint of some sort like a Buck 301 or something from Case.

Get 500ft of paracord, because you never know when you are going to need it .

The BK-2 is on my short list, so that gets my vote. Never used one, but I want one before my next camping trip!

get somthing made in the usa...... i dont want to see any amount of money going to japan,china or taiwan..... there are men who need jobs here. look for a made in the usa kershaw model like the leek

The BK2 is A LOT of knife for the $50 range. It's not my style but some people love it.

If you haven't already, give a traditional a try. A Buck 301,303, Case Stockman CV, or Case Peanut CV are all fantastic knives. The Bucks being thicker and more rugged and the Case's being thinner and more classic.

Or you could get some puukko blades and make your own handles.

You could get moras, but that's not fun enough.

Books. If you like the outdoors you can get some awesome books like Wildwood Wisdom (my personal favorite) or Woodcraft and Camping. Honestly, for me if i had a gift card to Amazon that is exactly what i would buy. I have enough knives but I can always learn something new. Alright maybe I would buy another Case Peanut, but cmon those things are like potato chips. You can't have just one.

EDIT: Ahh whetrock beat me to the slipjoints
