Hey, I might get a job this summer and I want to get a work knife. I have $75, because I don't want to waint until then. An please no "Dude, just save up and you can get......"

Thanks, I'd like it to come FS.
 
I would go with a Delica or a Endura depending on your hand size and what fits better for you. Those 2 are work horses! They are one of the best utility knifes from Spyderco and with the smaller price tag you don't have to worry about one being broken or lost. The pic below is the Delica 4 on top and Endura 4 on the bottom both are Stainless Steel, your choice but I would prefer the FRN scales

Seriously though, you can't go wrong with an Endura, and most of them fit your budget.:thumbup:
 
Endura/Delica. Course, you could also try getting a Native. Some people love it, others don't.
 
I got a spydie made in china,not sure what model,but it has g-10 handles and is awesome!about 45 bucks for them ,you vcan't go wrong!

Great idea! For 75 bucks, you could get a plain edge Tenacious AND a serrated one. You could switch the clip on one of them and carry in both front pockets. Then you'd be set for any situation at work.

Or look into the Byrd Wings and get both blades in one knife.
 
Another vote for the Mani. . .er wait, sorry :)

Endura it is. Simple, robust, inexpensive, well-made.
 
What kind of work do you do and what sort of cutting do you expect to be involved?
 
For your criteria:

FIRST choice: Two Tenacious - a PE and a SE
That's what I have for beaters to work around the house. I don't care where they are made, they are an awesome value and they are as tough as any Spyderco (relatively speaking). Nice G-10 handles. Use the SE for tough to cut materials, while keeping the PE razor sharp for finer work. Plus, if you lose or ruin one, you still have the other for back up, AND it'll cost you little to replace it.

SECOND choice: Endura (PE or SE)
It's a Spyderco classic, but I don't like SS handles because I feel they are too slippery. Take a look at the FRN.
 
Endura or Delica, depending on the length you want. Or, as suggested above, a SE and PE Tenacious.
 
The Endura is the way to go but the grip is strange if you are not used to it and the two Tenacious would be sweet. It all depends on the work, I carry lots of different knives depending on the work .I have beat on my Cold Steel Voyager more than I care to think about (stuff I would not do with my "Better"knives) .The Benchmade Vex is a nice heavy knife with a Spyder hole opener and a thick liner lock .Look around online and ask lots of questions we are all here to help.
 
I'd go for an Endura or Delica. I've carried one of those two knives while working and on the farm for the past three or so years and they work just fine. Plus, you won't cry too much if you lose or break an FRN-handled Delica or Endura.

The Tenacious is a nice knife, but on my folding work knives that are going to get used pretty hard I just plain prefer a good lockback to a liner lock. I also find lockbacks a bit easier to operate left-handed.
