BEST BUDGET KNIVES YOU CAN BUY 50$ OR LESS

[@jeffreydawson4520]

So many people say “I can’t spend $300 on a knife” and then turn around and buy 8 $50 knives (I’ve fallen into this category too many times). It’s truly an awesome time though that there are so many ridiculously good options at these lower price points!

[@AlanSpringer2074]

So true.

[@leodegas7731]

Guilty as charged 😆. But I go deeper and buy many $16 to $40 knives. The sencuts, ganzos, sitiviens and eafangrows give you real great values for collecting and real day use. I look at what people call budget knives ( to me a call knives) as the buck knife of my youth in the 60s. They are nostalgic and collectable quality tools. Appreciate them while using them.😆

[@kerrykitterman4602]

Get 7 ,one for each day. I'm more likely to Carry under $300.

[@leodegas7731]

@@kerrykitterman4602 I wish I was in your position. I'm more likely to carry $70 and under and when I'm feeling brave , maybe go as high as $150, probably a civivi or kizer. It's the same old story of classes. 🤣🤣🤣 Just above poverty here.🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 ✌️👍

Check out the Petrified Fish 818 for screaming deal! Smooth flipper, fall shut action, really good ergos and D2 for like 28 bucks!!

[@GrandmasterBBC]

Agreed. I was kind of surprised Jerad didn't mention that one. That was the first Petrified Fish knife that I bought.

[@Tom-cp6yj]

@@GrandmasterBBC feels like a knife that others would charge 3X more..

@send$lawyers$guns&money I would definitely recommend the PF818. There aren't many knives that can match it for under the $30 price point.

[@deenaharmon2604]

[@joelb1299]

Actium, Feldspar, Penguin, Beluga, and anything Kubey for sure. The Ganzos are trash. Bought 3, two were bad, tried to replace one under warranty. Months later, still waiting on my replacement. No more Ganzos for me.

At some point can you do a review on the sitivien st109 or st110? I'm getting the 110 (and they are close enough to each other in pretty much anything) today from Amazon and figured it was a hardly reviewed knife. Maybe it's a good Benchmade alternate 🤔

[@justinsnow3979]

I’d take kubey over civivi from my experience. Just better overall. I’d personally spend a little more and just get kizer. Kubey best under 50 and kizer best between 60-100

Should of done the ruike p801 instead of the one you did. Best budget knife I’ve ever had hands down for $30. SS scales, deep carry clip, 14c28n , full flat grind on bearings.

[@Hungrybird474]

The Adimante by ganzo was a favorite for a while . I had two and gave one away and he s still carrying the blue one . Says he loves it . I like mine but went and spent more $ but it’s still a cool snappy flipper .

[@mattakudesu]

God I hate when videos like this come out, especially since money is gonna be a bit tight for the next month, good thing I already have at least 4 or 5 of these knives. Budget knives are almost a drug to me because I looove seeing the quality they can squeeze out in this price range and it allows me to buy a bunch of different cool and useful designs without having to give up an arm or leg.

[@Rob_Houser]

Please do a "$50-$100" video. I'm super interested in the Iridium and would like to see how it stacks up. Love ya bro. Thanks.

[@NeevesKnives]

The iridium is great but it has a lot of play side to side and up and down so I personally would recommend something more solid, if you want a cross bar lock the CMB Predator is fantastic, btw I do have a lot of budget knife videos with long lists

[@miguelsoliz772]

Have you ever seen a knife and just fell in love 🥰 great video sir

[@witness1449]

I really enjoyed this video on good budget knives. I love the Sencut and the Ganzo button locks. I have a Civivi Praxis with the Damascus blade and really love the full size feel and beautiful blade $72 It is hard to beat CIVIVI! After carrying for a year I totally agree 👍

[@mattharvey968]

Great budget video once again Jared! Of all the budget knives I have I probably have more Ganzos then other brands. Incredible value in the $20 range and I don’t mind the 440C knives under $20. Looking forward to the mini Praxis!

[@leodegas7731]

😆😆😆 I am in the same boat. Love my Ganzos. The quality to price ratio is crazy. And my 440 steel knife is sitting beside me as I type, along with my nitro v and D2 knife. I rotate knives as i watch KZbin or football highlights. Have a blessed day.

[@yeetusdeletus6262]

CJRB Crag Recoil Lock knife is around $38 and a pretty good "budget" knife and very fidgety

[@zakariaott]

How you gunna make this list and not include a few Twosuns! What the hells wrong with you Mr. Neeves! 🤣 I would highly recommend the TS85 ( d2 $35), TS334 (14c28n, multi row bearings $45) also a slip joint TS246 (s90v $55). Just to name a few goodies. Also the Sixleaf SL-11( D2 ) with the discount it's only $30 on WMK! One of my favorite budget knives! Action/detent is fantastic! Also the Sixleaf SL-18 (d2) is a pretty good button lock for $45!

I went and ordered 5 kubeys they were so cheap since lat years models but I knew better . All kubeys are bueno. 322, Doris and momentum. They were $33 apiece. What a fucking deal right. Them civivi s tho ... I knew the Praxis was in there I was like 42.50 for praxis have like three of them. Hopefully someone will buy the carbon fiber Praxis and put a milk clip on it and be very happy with it. I think I’m the only one who talks about it. And I ordered the two sun 129 finally .

[@LonestarTaoboy]

Would be interested in the Mini Praxis, if I did not already have the Civivi Pintail in S35VN, or the Sencut Sachse. These are essentially the exact same shape as the Praxis, just without the choil and the same size the Mini Praxis will be.

I just got a Rike 1902 gold/blk cf, M390, titanium and checked the blade and it had no 76 on it. Does that mean it was a special run, or is that just something Rike does?

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah that is a great knife, and I'm not sure about the 76, there's possibly different versions

[@toddcarr.]

Some great companies that are offering well made products for relatively little money especially when you consider money vs performance. Many of my knives are in this price range and I enjoy them just as much as my $150 plus knives. For many this is the perfect price range as well a $50 or less knife in 14C28N that is going to get the crap beat out of it anyway on a worksite and is easy to replace might be a better option than a $200 or more investment because you'll have to sharpen it at the end of the day no matter what. Plus the only option for some is to buy an ok knife twice a year as compared to one every couple of years, it's affordability in the end for some but still want to scratch an itch every so often and get something new and shiny. Some other good brands out there as well such as SRM. and keep an eye on others that offer discounts on discontinued products such as getting a $100 one but paying less than $50 if your willing to catch sales. Secondary is also an option but be careful of scammers out there. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

Nice selection and I have almost all of the budget brands. I think I will buy a baluga . 🤣🤣🤣 Budget to me is 50 dollars and under because Im on a fixed income. This i a question I just posted on another channel and pasted here. Do you have any advice or thoughts on this? I mean I have lots of Ganzos that look like this knife and they are great and cost $18 to $28 dollars. I mean at 50 to 60 dollars kizer is just killing it. I have 5 of those. I only have a few Knives that over 100 dollars and 4 in the 300 plus range. I guess I am asking, should I stop buying the $50 plus knives because they almost all look the same this fall, the economy I think influence ) and just buy 200 or 300 dollar knives. I think ganzo, eafengrow , setivien and sencut have spoiled me. They all make good to great knives at 40 dollars and below. 60 to 100 plus aren't that much better. There are exceptions of course. I only have about 60 knives, so I was just wondering what you think or what the community thinks. I have one civivi, a few cold steels, kizers, one hinderer fixed, one shieldon, one Loveless, one Randall, one BPS, a few Spydercos, one Buck fixed; to name the brands that I have. Any suggestions. I was going to get a sebenza, but I forgot the finish date and they never called me when is was completed. Not happy with them. Sorry so long a comment. Im just kind of stuck.

Hi Leo, Do you have a favorite knife so far? Also, what was your first titanium handle knife and how did you end up liking it? I'm looking to try more expensive handles and I'm over hyping ti/cf scales in my head.

[@leodegas7731]

@@DullPoints hi Chase. I only have three titanium knives. I bought them just to say I have some titanium knives 🤣🤣. Just consider the snail trail effect. Maybe don't buy a all flat scale knife like my kizer guru. I love all three for different reasons. My eafengrow one is huge and looks like art deco art. It's Eafengrow EF902. This is the only one I use to really work with. Its inexpensive compared to others. It was only $70 with D2 steel. My friend needed some branches cut down. They were about as round a thumb and the knife took them down easily. I have a kizer guru that is another piece of art and a really awesome, unique feeling deployment. One of the best feels I have in a knife BUT I have 1 snail trail on it already. That one stays in my knife case. I did take it in my pocket for the first week I had it.🤣🤣🤣 I took it out last night to deploy it for a while. It feels great. My third one is a Reate that is titanium and a wood looking micarta. If I may be honest, I bought that one on a open box sale, White mountain. God was with me on this one. The deployment on that knife is on par with the guru. It's beautiful and since it's micarta and titanium, it pops more as far as looks. I just checked and the eafengrow is not available on Amazon right now. Or else I would have said grab it now. I think they still have other styles tho. In truth, I can't say which is my favorite because they all fit a different catagory in my collection. One is a real user. One is artful ( I paint and work with clay), and the other is a mixture of two handle materials, also it fits in the, kind of expensive knife catagory. It's called Mini crossroad( $350). If you use your knife like I do. Get the eafengrow. If you want beauty and feel, go for the best you can afford and buy a Reate or a custom. But if you want a great knife on the lower end but not a budget brand,kizer is the best bang for the buck. Maybe civivi but they almost all look the same. But I haven't looked at their ti models, but they are getting up there in price. I don't think that helped a lot. I type too much. Sorry 😐. Take care and these are all I have in the titanium. Peace and God bless, ✌️🦁 PS. I didn't answer your first question. I guess my favorite knife is my first real knife I bought. It's a fixed blade. I bought the most expensive knife I could afford as my first knife since I knew I would never be able to save this much again. ( I'm homeless and these knives are really for my grandnieces, for college tuition). So I researched pioneers of knife making in the USA and saw Robert Terzuola, Randall and Loveless. I bought a Loveless Drop point hunter. If you get a chance to hold one in your hands that was made by him, you will feel history. There is a spiritual feeling when you hold one, but the weight and curves feel ( don't laugh) sensual. It cost $4500 and that was a cheap one.🤣🤣🤣 But that's my favorite, not because of the cost, but because you can seriously feel the heart and love of the craft in his knives. Watch his video on making knives. He is so serious and detailed oriented in the video. But after saying this. There are some really good Chinese companies. My Hinderer Emmett knife is probably my second favorite knife. Next month I get my Randall. ✌️🦁
