Worthy Slip Joint Under $70

[littleknife]

For under $70 I would suggest a Rough Ryder Reserve with D2 steel and micarta handles, or for under $20-25, a regular Rough Ryder with VG10 blade steel knives and G10 or micarta handle scales. Even the 440A steel standard models are nice.

Another from Rough Ryder, this is from their Apta series.
Titanium scales, VG-10 blade , a zippered case with torx wrench and extra screws. $40

Thread necrosis? Sure, I'll play.

Hashishiin mentioned the Rough Ryder (sic) Reserve line, and I agree.

I also collect electrician-pattern knives.

ESEE sells the Churp, and this is a recycled stock image:

Marbles sells two versions of these G. I. issue-style knives, this lil' one, and a larger SAK-style.

You could go for the army clasp knife.

Rosecraft Blades is building a line of traditionals that look interesting.

You don’t like the buck 55 or 503?

I sure do! I did not mention in my post, but even though there are only a few USA models, Buck does a way better job than Case.

Sodbuster is a solid knife, can't go wrong with that one. I would also recommend checking out the Copperlock, they are awesome as well
I have a small Copperlock, don't have a large one yet

The Boker Germany knives (not the Solingen models) come in at about $50.

The ones that I have handled are decent, but not up to the Solingen quality.

However, I haven't heard anything bad about them and they have a good selection of patterns.
