Hall of Fame Pocket Knives: The 5 Perfect EDC Knives (Under $100)

[@EthEdr]

Plain edge all the way. Good video thanks.

[@WoodsmanHobo777]

I hate serrated blades, if I wanted a saw on my knife blade I'd get a saw

[@lmartin5251]

I don't own any Benchmade knives but I absolutely love my Ontario Rat II; so much that when mine was confiscated at the airport Christmas morning, the first thing I did was order a new one. It retains a sharp edge even after a year of use & abuse. Opens & closes very smoothly. Perfect size and doesn't way much so you don't notice it in your pocket, which is why I forgot to put it in my check in luggage.

[@rayg9289]

Elove it!!

[@chrisreuther4546]

Title says under 100... should have been the griptilian (mini) and not the bugout!

[@angelosorvillo1912]

I’ve carried a Spyderco Wegner with 3 3/44 in ATS-34 50/50 blade, since the late 1990’s. It sharpens well and the fit, function and feel are great.

[@willyam9735]

My best edc has been the Benchmade Griptilian 550HG with plain sheepsfoot blade. I keep it (and all my other knives) shaving sharp using my Worksharp by Ken Onion. It takes a very light tough to get an excellent blade dressing followed by some stropping using a hard-surface backed strip of leather belt dressed with black honing compound. My final step is to strop a few times on a piece of fire hose to get the burr off, leaving a "shaving sharp" blade every time! Both the knife and the sharpener were gifts from my sons which makes it even sweeter! This knife was my first introduction to a 154CM steel and I experience great satisfaction when knife sharpening now days. Old dog/new steels!

[@HikeHuntHaul]

My EDC is Benchmade Grizzly Ridge. Love this knife! Highly recommend for daily carry. Easy to grip, great quality steel, and Benchmade quality. Plane edge. Not a big serrations edge blade carry. Love a super sharp straight edge.

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

Ill go with the Ontario RAT-1 in AUS-8 @ about $20 with the RAT-2 @ about $30 being a smaller alternative. Excellent knives all around and the $50 D2 bladed version elevates the RATs to a new level. Any of the Ganzo knives in 440C is also a good choice Before Cold Steel upgraded to CTS XHP and later CPM S35VN, many of their knives ran under $50 with the AUS-8A blade steel. The recon-1, rajah 3, talwar and many others was a great budget option. Still are but prices run over $70 now. Worth every penny but i do miss the less expensive options. The Real Steel HS-S1 in 14C-28N is a great buy at $50 or so as well as many other models they offer. The Kershaw cryo 2 in 8CR13MOV is a great little assisted opener at about $40. Kershaw has many models in this price range such as the Emerson 60347 and even several USA made models that are great knives. The aforementioned Cold Steels in this price range of $60 to $100 are all excellent. The Benchmade griptillian standard model is a great buy at about $90 At the $70 to $80 price range my all time favorite has to be the USA made Spyderco manix-2 in CPM S30V. Both lightweight and standard models can be found for $70 to $100. Its tough as nails, has great steel and a great lock and its ergos fit my hand like a glove. Thats my list anyway but at least one of the two standouts are with me daily. Its hard to leave the house without my manix-2 and RAT-1 D2 ,even when i have new knives to try.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Outstanding comment, thank you 👍

[@Bruins81277]

Kershaw Blur has been my EDC for over 10 years. Rock solid knife and comfortable in your hand. Backed by a great warranty. Hard to beat at its price point.

[@uberjimindc613]

I love my KA-BAR Dozier. Crazy lightweight at 1.6 ounces. Really inexpensive at around $20. Great color choices. I picked the cool “electric blue.” A nice all around budget EDC folder.

[@khakicampbell6640]

Years later, the Dozier is still one of my working edc favorites.👍

[@tallica4life81]

I just made my first knife purchase and I chose the Benchmade 940-2. It looks so sexy. I wish I had the extra dough for the carbon fiber version but I don’t. I plan on using it for curing cardboard at work. It will always be in my pocket.

[@butterysmooth7907]

Hows your 940 doing

[@danielsullivan7918]

I carry a buck 110 auto and a Leatherman 300 every day. The 110 has a beefy blade and 100% replacement on broken parts so it's great for heavy use, plus the snap when you open that knife is like an alligator snapping it's jaws. I just love that.

[@genxkevin]

I have a lot of knives.. all brands... big ..small.. custom... etc.. I do agree with your pic... however... the knife that I find in my pocket most times is the Spyderco full size military... its super lite.. easy open and close one hand.. I wear shorts most of the time... I was a late in life Spyderco fan.. I also love the little salt knives... have one on me at all times for EDC packages etc.. its like carrying loose change and no one gets "triggered" when you pull it out for task in public situation. cheers buddy

[@BlueOx2277]

If your knife is as sharp as it should be, you won’t need serrations. On my person everyday- kershaw blur, spyderco manix 2XL, and victorinox Spartan. 👍🏻

[@jayrodriguez1384]

I can say this is a great video because I have 80% of your recommendations. For an EDC edge profile, the answer is plain. I much prefer the full size Cutjack and RAT. (I have both sizes in both.) My Manix 2 is S90V, so it doesn't qualify as an under $100 knife. I carry a fully serrated Spyderco in H1 on occasion.

[@khakicampbell6640]

These are still good choices 5 years later. It's amazing to see how much some knife prices have gone up since this video came out- way faster than inflation! I still love my Kbar Dozier as a stout, lightweight, budget working knife.

[@bruce4656]

Another great video! I love that you explain your opinions, telling us the reasons why you'd choose one knife over the other. This is so helpful. Anyone can go over the basic specs.

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

Spyderco byrd Cara Cara 2 for $20 is an awesome first knife. Does the job. Don't need to worry about wrecking it because of the price. I still use daily.

[@2001wj]

spyderco tenacious is my edc knife and has not let me down.

[@arivintejalakam]

*Great video, All the Knives Mentioned in this video are Great in their Price range, But For Someone who want to Go Below this budget i will add some more to the list* ## *10-20$ i think in this price range Ganzo is unbeatable i will suggest to look for some models like Fb7611, Fb7651 etc.. All of them have 440c blade steel. In this price range my favorite is Fb7611.* ## *In 20-25$ Price Range There are a good selection of value for money Ganzo's Like the Fh21, Fh41 & Fh51.i have all 3 of them and my favorite is Fh21. All of them is D2 steel flippers on bearings* ## *in 25-30$ i would suggest the twosun Ts16 (d2/G10 model), TS27. TS16 is my favorite in this range* ## *If you are looking for smaller blades look into Ganzo Fh51, Fh61 (i personally didn't like the Fh61), F753m1, F759. On Twosun side i only have one That is Ts47. Here my favorite is Ganzo fh51 (23$).* ## *If you are looking for a work knife i would suggest The Ganzo Fb7511, Fh21, Twosun Ts16. Here my favorite design is Ganzo Fb7511 (15-18$) but it comes with a 440c blade so i would prefer to go with Twosun 16.* ## *If you want to go below 10$ i would Suggest Ganzo Fb759 (normally sells for 8-9$ on Gearbest/aliexpress ) / sometimes the Fb753m1 also comes under that 10$ mark (the G10 version). There is also some Good Sanrenmu Models under 10$ (sorry i don't remember the exact model numbers).*

[@Hungrybird474]

I have a Kershaw tanto I like but my favorite is a toss up between a cheap assisted maxam and a Milwaukee that takes carpenter blades , flips open real nice and fits real nice , plus a razor , no sharpening , flip the blade !

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

I think that the RAT 2 and the 'Cutjack' are a special good option for EDC in cities.

[@KevinHenleytheone]

Like most on here, own tons 'o knives and EDC a lot of them but ALWAYS comback to my Benchmade/Heckler & Koch Patrol auto. HK got together with BM and made this beautiful, barely notice it's there D2 steel bad boy, Rockwell-60 to 62 HRC. I prefer plain blade. If I was honest, it's probably the auto factor that makes this thing so appealing for me. It just deploys sooo fast, it's out and safety lock in place before I even get to whatever I'm cutting. So Benchmade now makes the Casbah, which is EXACTLY the same except it's CPMS30V steel Rockwell 58-60 HRC. And it's 160ish compared to HK Patrol, got for 99.

[@mybaddadventures144]

Things change so fast there is now a elementum with 35vn with g10 grips 79.50 and micarda grips $82

[@Lumencraft-]

I really appreciate that you actually have these knives to test and show. Some of the other Top 5/10 vids I've seen are just harvested clips from other peoples videos.

[@midwest1228]

One. I thought that deserved mention is the Kershaw blur

[@teddyrock1740]

I concur, my favorite EDC Ken Onion got it right

[@kevin.waldron]

@@teddyrock1740 oh hell yeah, and that stonewash blade with the matte green handle it looks great

[@rwstubbz]

Love my blur

[@rwstubbz]

The thumb stud on the blur is the thumb stud of the future.

[@sethgriffin6014]

A lot, and I mean A LOT of people hate assisted knives. There are also better values for the price compared to the blur.

[@aboutjab]

I love the Cut jack, I carry it everyday, I like it enough that I bought another one just in case.

[@ReX-Ray]

If I could only have 1 knife for the rest of my life, it would have to be the para 3. Great all around knife.

[@Backtoreality4u]

Awesome list. I have seen alot of videos and yours seems to make the most sense. Great job!

[@rwstubbz]

Plain edge... I love sharpening a plain edge. It's therapeutic for me. Also, i would include the coldsteel prolite tanto. I love my spyderco's and carry them more, but for the price... It's a great deal.

[@grootbillyclub3897]

Kershaw makes good folding knives. But my all time favorite knife is gerber strongarm fixed blade.

[@juanriverarosa9371]

The perfect knife is the one that suits your needs and tastes - no big science here! If it feel and fit good in your hand, you like the design, is in your “acceptable” budget, and is made with quality materials, you have it. 🎯

[@dylonharris545]

I actually got a mini griptilian for my b day and it stays sharp forever and I carry it every day Probably my favorite knife to use.

[@joehikes5855]

I like your idea of having a beater knife on you as well, in case someone wants to borrow one. That way, they're not using your expensive knife as pry bar or hammer

[@darthblade2016]

Exactly, always have a back-up beater blade in my car and EDC bag, just in case. Not gonna let a coworker jack up my more expensive blades.

[@judahjames6592]

I own all these knives except the Leek and I carry the Bugout the most. But honestly the last few months I’ve fallen in love with the Bradford Guardian3. It’s just so perfect when you have gloves on and don’t want to fumble with locking mechanisms. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

[@gmg921]

Yeah me too. I have been carrying my guardian 3 for heavy use work and my small sebenza or Kershaw am-3 for light use.

[@jamesharris1493]

Believe it or not the Gerber Evo Jr. is an amazing everyday pocket knife! At first when I received this knife and began becoming accustomed to it I could not get the knife to copletely open. Afterwards with practice this task was easy. Now for the blade, what an amazing blade which began getting me compliments on how sharp and well maintained the blade is. Yes nothing about this knife in it's entirety is expensive but this knife is legal to carry, can cut like a razor when properly sharpened and is comfortable because of it's light weight. Now a self defense knife is a different subject which I might consider the larger Evos. For now anyone looking for an extremely inexpensive bad ass knife go with Evo's.

[@nb7673]

I always tell people to get a cold steel knife for the first one or an edc knife. I abuse the hell out of my edc knife and have gone through a bunch of them but the only ones that have lasted were my cold steel spartan and the code4. They make great affordable knives that last and wont break easy. Currently I'm looking into getting they're drop forged boot knife and Bowie knife

[@Jimatuscc]

Plain edge pocket knives, serrated steak knives. Your top knife was the Case jack knife you briefly show at the end.

[@mikeboyce21]

As a part of my current edc the manix 2 in maxamet and the native 5 in maxamet, are both in the rotation depending on if I need a larger or smaller blade. I love them both. And they're very similar.

[@ondrasvoboda4512]

I have Rat II in D2 and I totally adore it! Definitely can recommend!

[@scottm5167]

CRKT M16-03S aluminum scales is a good EDC. $50 and very well made. Flipper open is awesome.

[@Jezus42]

I carry the 14z

[@richardhatt6541]

For a knife I prefer a plain edge but the serrated edge comes in handy at times. When I was active Army Medic I carried a Benchmade Griptillian with partial serrated edge or an Applegate/Fairbairn in my pocket, a Becker BK-16 plain edge, and in my calf pocket a fully serrated Spyderco in case I had to cut gear off.

[@chaz7346]

I would do either type of edge, but I don't like having it change types halfway through my blade. I love your videos.

[@arthursoto4285]

Manix 2,lightweight is so slept on. I'm hand its a gem

[@dajdools8834]

I have the lightweight and the heavy version, cause they are that awesome...

[@louirudy670]

Ganzo G730. A cheap paramilitary 2 with a linerlock. The ideal knife for me.

[@TheBoBabsin]

The Leek is my all-time favorite EDC knife.

[@HezakiahRhinehart]

I prefer a straight blade, I also always carry a leatherman wave so I have a fully serrated blade on there.

[@mckinneyguy]

I keep 3 EDC knives. 1. Benchmade Hunter- casual gentleman's carry $140 2. Boker el hero- short fixed blade tank horizontal carry. $90 3. Kershaw - beater knife for beater work.$30

[@13noman1]

A good list and easy to endorse, probably because I have most of 'em! I don't know if others have had my experience with the kershaw Leek (spring assist). I found that after about a year of use, the spring breaks. Mind you, Kershaw's always been great about sending me a new spring and changing it isn't hard, just annoying. I really liked the Leek before that and have several with different scales.

[@arielfetters5662]

Heyas. One thing I've noticed with a lot of preppers is that all of them have knives, but very few have a knife sharpener in their Bugs.

[@venetiakelley]

Great comment!! True

[@venetiakelley]

Could you please do a video on knife sharpeners??

[@charlesholland6851]

manix 2 and para 3 are awesome! the rat is certainly solid. i got one on clearance at walmart

[@jasondutchman6736]

Plain edge without question! The only knife I have that is serrated is a bread knife.

[@zialfps7038]

I own quite a few knives, but I keep coming back to the Hinderer XM-24. Something about the 4 inch spanto blade just captivates me. But if you can't spend $600 on an XM-24, try the Kershaw Cryo 2. They're like $35 with a steel framelock. It's only 3.25 inches, but it's a nice little knife.

[@a.delome8023]

The Ka-Bar Dozier in either the thumb stud or oval blade hole deserves to be on EVERYONE'S "Best Of" lists. Hands down one of the best sub $25 pocket carries out there. Rivals the old Spyderco Delica 3 before the introduction of the Delica with full liners which a knife of this size and design of use really doesn't need. Try one and you'll never get rid of it.

[@semco72057]

Those are all nice looking knives, but any knife which will do what you want it to do is great, but for me the knives I own are primarily for everyday tasks with a few being built primarily for a survival task.

[@beammeupscotty1955]

I use an Enlan el-02 for work and as a general contractor, I use it very hard. The pirated Axis lock is the best locking mechanism of any I have ever used and for under $20.00 at the time I bought it, the Enlan couldn't be more perfect for my purposes. I have a Brous auto which cost a whole lot more but I would never use it for work, or much of anything else for that matter because it would be so expensive to replace. I find serrated blades useless and do not own any of that type by any maker. I have no idea why anyone would want one.

[@jayseven5eight253]

Like that Manix; I have a dragonfly 2 with a similar blade shape, and I’d like a larger version. Plain over serrated is my preference. I EDC a skyline or a Rat 1. Thanks for the video!

[@josedeleon3354]

I don't need a top notch steel although it helps. Just a great grip that doesn't slip is all I need.

[@richardcagle5475]

Been looking into American made replacements for my bestech swordfish in d2. Not sure I trust the heat treating, but this knife has performed very well for me. No rust and I really don’t try to prevent it so I just can’t see the benefits of s30v. D2 beats it on paper in every category except for corrosion resistance. Just not worth the downgrade unless the heat treat makes a huge difference. I just don’t need the corrosion resistance.

[@jamesharris1493]

Benchmade Bugout Serrated, Benchmade Serrated Griptilian, the Benchmade Serrated Freak, the Benchmade Bailout Serrated. Second List! Steel Will Modus, Kershaw Leek, the Kershaw Eris as mentioned light weight and medium size, the Kershaw Emerson wave is a great knife also if only made serrated! Last on my List are the Spyderco Smock in titanium, the Spyderco Yojimbo 2 is the greatest cutter of them all and an excellent self defense knife. Basically any Spyderco that is serrated will do any task and won't weigh down your pockets. Zero tolerance Hinderer model. Only complaint is the weight.

[@leestephenson4952]

Recently had mini cut jack in my hand. Love it, but purchased for 9 yr. old grandson’s birthday & found that although he’s a healthy active boy with large enough paws, he just lacks the strength to work flipper. Lol! Knew should have kept & got him a rat 1. 🤷‍♂️😂

[@landon1136]

He'll learn to flip it quick after he gets some practice

[@TukaSlave]

My Rat 1 is like it was made purely to fit my hands. No other knife fits me better. But I'll always carry a SAK as well (Manager, Evogrip S18, Super Tinker, Pioneer X, Bantam Alox, or Compact). The Spydercos give great control of the tip of the blade and are really good for fine work. But i don't want to clank when I leave the house!

[@thedepressedguydoesstuff]

I’d say the plain edge vs serrated edge debate depends on your level of experience. If you have little to no experience then I’d say plain edge, serrated edges do provide more versatility but they can be a little more difficult to sharpen for someone who doesn’t have as much experience

[@1964krazyeric]

I love the Kershaw Leek, however I hate the safety; it is awkward. I have an older Kershaw knife that is much smaller and it opened in my pocket a few times when I forgot the safety. The Leek scares me to have in my pocket. The Leek is the most I have ever paid for a knife until I ordered the Spyderco Para 3. When it comes I will probably like it too. I think I will spend more on my knives from now on, quality is worth it.

[@Redant751]

For EDC Spyderco delica ,and a Swiss army pioneer. If I need something dressy I go with my Spyderco Chaparral carbon fiber.

[@ballersac32]

If I could add one edc under $100 knife to your list, it would be the ferrum forge massdrop gent. Titanium frame, ball bearing pivot, s35vn blade and handsome as heck.

[@stevenlachance8576]

One knife I’d add for consideration is the cold steel swift or swift two in CTS-XHP, it’s a bigger knife but it really brings it when you want a ruggedised package. It is assisted opening, the steel is a pleasure to sharpen and gets a hair whittling edge.

[@alexm5684]

Haha thats funny I thought the last knife would be the tenacious but i was happy to see it was the manix 2, my favorite edc for years and I also agree its got the best value for your money over any other brand, ive always been a huge advocate of the manix 2, love it.

[@Toms2ATime]

I was happy to see you include the Kershaws in the list, but you missed what is, in my humble opinion, Ken Onion's best design for them, the Blur. It has been in my pocket or on my plate carrier for years, even above some of the really expensive, "good" knives I own. I think you can buy them in the $50 range these days.

[@teddyrock1740]

My personal favorite

[@grumpyoldwizard]

That Steel Will Cut Jack mini is a great little blade. Legal length too.

[@daviesmith1311]

Got most of them for edc delica is king !

[@TheGreatHotDogConsumer]

I’ve had a schrade folding karambit for a little while and it’s pretty good so far

[@tonygalvan78]

For the last 15 years I want to say I’ve carried the griptillian . I have all three of them lost all of them and just ordered my fourth rip Tilian which to me is very similar to The bug out

[@nathan164]

Getting the Steel Will - Cutjack in the mail any day now, been watching too many knife videos in anticipation lol.

[@radishfox308]

I actually returned mine as soon as I got it. Cutjack Mini D2. The lockup was terrible...like not even 25%.

[@BudgetBugout]

These are the 5 EDC pocket knives that I recommend to friends/families who wish to buy a pocket knife (but don't want to start a knife collection). Which EDC pocket knife do YOU recommend to others???

[@ThePaPappy]

Budget beaters that hold up ? The Ruike Hussar and the Ruike P138. I Haven't fought Germans,Indians, Conan, Griz,or hoodlums but they have cut boxes, food, cordage, tags, and other daily tasks without losing an edge. I have Buck, Spyderco, Benchmade, Fox, Ferrum and others but these do the job as a daily carry.

[@darthblade2016]

My top recommendations for people just getting into knives depends on how much they want to spend. For budget range, I recommend the Ka-Bar Dozier or the Rat Model II. Similar to your list, if they are willing to spend more, I tell them to go for a Manix 2 Lightweight.

[@Bananahammock88]

Have all the knives on this list and I always go back to the rat 2. It stays in the corner of my pocket without me noticing its there

[@bzebarth]

I'd add the ruike p801 and remove the Manix 2 LW. I really wanted to love the Manix but despite it's lightweight it is too obtrusive in the pocket due to its width to be a good edc knife and it's the only knife of any budget I've ever chipped the blade on doing normal edc stuff.

[@RonSpilker]

If they can sharpen themselves, I'd say Paramilitary 2, Street beat for fixed. For people that drive a lot, I like the Benchmade Triage. It's not just a knife, but the Victorinox One Hand Trekker is pretty nice.

[@richardmueller7197]

I'm totally a Spyderco guy -I love my Native for EDC, it is a thinker blade but the steel S35VN is Awesome steel & easy to return to hair popping spark. By the way, my next Spyderco will be the Chapparal great small blade for EDC but has a thinner blade - a real splicer dicer.

[@BubbaBlackmon]

My favorite knife is the full size Benchmade Griptillian .It was even cheaper than the Mini Griptillian and easier to use. I am interested in the Benhmade Bugout for the quality steel and light weight.

[@tomashernandez9812]

After buying a Cutjack , I wonder why i ever needed any other knife. Great value.

[@donniemiller2593]

Great video. I liked your “other options” and comparisons. Keep them coming.

[@smedhighfield49]

A lot of hard work went into this video. Thanks, man.

[@robertchilders4031]

My Goodness!?! Do you own all of those knives? That's pretty amazing. They are a little over my price range, but they look like good choices. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertchilders4031]

Oh. I left off my recommendation of a Byrd Cara Cara or a Number 8 Opinel. Both very fine knives IMHO.

[@brentpladson2050]

I carry a Cryo 2 everyday. Once in a great while a drop of instrument valve oil will keep it from half opening. But it’s a knife that I beat the crap out of.

[@oinnsheathen5684]

I have big hands and EDC two knives. The Spyderco PM2 in S110V steel and the Leek. Soon to be the ZT 0452CF and the Leek.

[@drivingmuffin]

Might pick up a Rat 2 after watching this, nice video!

[@SNE4KZ]

Got the rat2 for 20$ aus8 version. Been great for me easy to sharpen and takes a beating. Also like how Tiny it is in the pocket.

[@JulioMo]

What an awesomely informative video! Thank you, sir!

[@gimliismyhero2045]

I’ve been carrying a Case Tec X Pro 1 for nearly a month, replacing my Boker Klashnikov that I lost. The Tec X is actually pretty sweet and combo edge is highly useful at work

[@Renaldo135]

My favorite knife for EDC due to lightweight status and amazing blade for using along with how fast the BD1 STEEL sharpens right up really fast and glides through material is my Manix2 trans-blue and it was eighty bucks when I bought it but fast forward to today.2020 post corona plague and they are over 100..still worth it though.

[@menacewithaknife4045]

Good choices but the leek sucks for Lefty's the dividend the best choice between the two of them. thanks for sharing 🐱

[@hardrock1826]

Whether I have a straight edge or partial serrated depends on the blade. My CRKT M16-14Z is partially serrated. My Cold Steel XL Tanto is straight edge. I carry other EDCs, so it also depends on what I need to do at the time and I make a decision which blade I will use for the task.

[@jayrodriguez1384]

Cutjacks are great, but I prefer the Modus in M390. I got it on sale for about $80.l like the larger RAT. I got the smaller one later and put it in the drawer. I don't like the Bugout, but I find the Griptilian to be excellent. I would include some Cold Steels and Bestech D2s on the list And maybe a Civivi. And I have a $20 Two Sun that was a real bargain for the money. Thanx for the video.

[@calypsoraz4318]

Oddly, until now, the knives that Ive purchased have all been Kershaw. Well, I have one ZT but same thing. I just swapped to carrying my 0350 daily but I'm planning on getting a Bugout as well as a Para2. Not sure what order yet.

[@anthonyschutz7201]

I love my cutjack, especially for how cheap it was. Solid overall knife for edc

[@mwillblade]

I have over three hundred knives, the most useful is my Schrade stockman. When I was a medic in the navy I carried a swiss army knife and used the hell out of it for preventive maintenance and mundane tasks. I carried it even in foreign ports and no one cared when I pulled it out in public to use.

[@flip85s.49]

I love the steel will mini cutback for the price you get a great knife with good blade steel. I recommend it all the time to people looking for a new knife.

[@hesa_jigalo]

I mainly carry the manix 2. Can't beat that value

[@Matt_The_Hugenot]

I'd include the Böker Plus Worldwide, Aus8 steel, nice G10 grip, and you can take it into most countries.

[@michaelmendillo4614]

Well, for me, personally, I like many of the Tac force knives, for my uses. For less than $15.00, they are very hard to beat. It's all a matter of preference I think for each person, and their pocketbook, sure, there are many beautiful , well made knives out there that I would love to own ! But, I ask myself, am I buying a knife for its beauty, or am I buying it to do the jobs that I need it to do,,,,, TY Sir,,, I will say, all the knives you displayed are well made and most of all, affordable for many ! Excellent job ! 😁✌🇺🇸💪

[@arlenleffmann4966]

I just got the SOG terminus. It’s a pretty good knife. Haven’t had it long enough to form a good opinion about it yet.

[@grumpyoldwizard]

I love the Steel Will Cutjack. I hope to purchase one of the better steel versions but it is fantastic as is. I have a lot of knives but this one comes out on top for use, feel, and convenience. The George design 3460 is amazing too. It’s in the $20 range that cute like a little demon. It’s a bit heavy but worth it. Great video, thanks!

[@travisconrad5035]
