Your cheapest carry and most expensive carry

I carry a Kershaw Cinder in my front left pocket every day along with a Victorinox Waiter.

The most expensive that I carry and cut with is likely the ZT0999 - I have seen those sell for $2500, or my Kershaw Tilt 4001 DLC - I have seen those sell in the past for more than $2500. I also rotate in a G&G Deadlock Batch 6.

The Grik is an awesome inexpensive little knife.
I carry mine a good bit and it is one of the few knives that I bought a backup one.

It does need the edge thinned a bit but once that is done it is a mean slicer.
I like the goofy plastic clip a lot too.

Yeah I like how the clip is basically part of the handle.
 
Somebody in the last PIF thread sent me a SAK Spartan with German markings. That rides in the pocket of my vest and goes everywhere I go.

A large Griptilian is normally my EDC when I am not in the office.

I’d say $20 on the low end and a little over $100 for the Benchmade.
 
Opinel N°8 Carbone on the low end and Dawson Mercury Damascus on the high end. Both are equally small carry knives but at the time of purchase the prices differed by about $200.

An alox Bantam, about €20, and a T.A. Davison slipjoint, a heck of a lot more. The Bantam is a favorite for those relatively infrequent occasions when I need to wear a suit or dressy pants, as it is incredibly thin but fits my needs functionally. The Davison, which I have only had for a week and half, will be there all of the rest of the time for the foreseeable future (it's awesome).

Brand new knives:
Cheapest Buck small Vantage on closeout at Gander Mountain for either $11 or $13, can't remember.

Most expensive: ZT 0562, they went on sale a few months later but I still like it for the $180ish I paid.

Used knives: I've picked up several nice old slipjoint knives at various fairs and antique shops, in the range of $8 to $25, all cleaned up nicely.
 
I pretty much use them all. From the Vic super tinker which I keep in my little medicine bag ($15 on sale at Menards a few years ago) to my $350 Matt Bailey Model 2 Geek edition flipper.

However, as far as primary pocket carry, it's gonna be one of my two OTFs. Brian Tighe Twist Tighe at ~$290 and a Hogue Exploit which I got for $191, but I believe retails closer to $270.
