The Top 5 Best Budget Knives Available on Amazon!! As voted on by the viewers!

[@Gothfield]

This video helped me buy my first knife that wasn’t gas station garbage. I’ve owned some old timers and buck knives that were okay, couple Swiss Army knives, really I don’t think I’d ever spent more than 15 bucks on a knife. I went in for the feldspar and it’s easily the very best knife I’ve ever owned, make me wonder what I’ve been missing out on all this time. Thanks for the recommendation!!! Very good knife that’s been on my side for a week solid now, don’t see it leaving anytime soon.

[@MR.MR.DESIGNS]

The Vector breaks in super well, I got one in each color, best budget knife!

[@KNIFEADDICT-ri6pe]

Cjrb is killing me man love these knifes

[@Hungrybird474]

That crkt hollow point +p Ruger is an awesome knife you guys! Ken onion design . Blade swings right out like nothing I’ve ever flipped . It’s not the top shelf steel but it’s crkt and it s a kick ass blade and beautiful and has great fidgety qualities . One handed so easy . Better than the feldspar

[@kylearmstrong21]

Totally respect it but Ganzo make their own designs and the knives they had before have always been similar but not clones. Great quality and if anyone wants to get in depth every single knife from Benchmade to Reeves is similar to every knife that came before it. Millions of knives being remade over and over has always been done but comparing Ganzo or Efengrow to clones just isn't right.

[@kcimages5157]

Honey Badger is worlds ahead of the others !

[@daveyboy6985]

Except they use 8cr steel, which is ok if it's cheap. But here in New Zealand they charge over $ 100 dollars nz for their largest folder. Whereas you can buy a ruike knife here in 14c28n at about $ 70 nz.

[@nascarracer886]

[@addicted2knives171]

You had me until you said No Ganzo. Ganzo never made Clones they copied designs years ago. For years now they have made there own designs.

Agreed. Garbage

What do you consider a clone? Are all scandi grinds clones of the Mora? Aren’t app flippers clones?

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

That question could take us down quite the Rabbit hole. Some of it comes down to personal opinion and some of it is just obvious similarities of iconic or very popular designs.

5 great knives. Only one missing is the Ganzo fh41 😉

[@markwolfe4924]

want is a clone knive

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

A clone is a knife that looks like a very popular/recognizable knife, but made by different company. A good example is how Ganzo makes clones of Benchmade’s 940 and Ontario’s Rat.

[@barrybaldwin5535]

I agree with your sanction on "clone" knives. I consider that practice "patent infringement", even if the statute of limitations has expired. When I decide to purchase a knife, after checking in with reputable channels like yours, I am expecting to receive the real thing & expect to pay appropriately for it, in other words, I'm not looking for the cheapest knockoff of the real thing, I expect to purchase the real deal. By the way, I agree that the Sencut is my favorite as well.

[@travispratt6327]

So far I’ve been happiest with my morakniv, got it for under $15 and not only does it stay razor sharp through a lot of use, it’s very easy to get razor sharp when it does dull. The problem is it’s not a pocket knife, it’s a full size belt knife.

[@vinnie_baggadonuts]

"They're a little bit proud of the 8CR13mov"😂😂😂😂😂

[@ethanthomas5393]

Honey badger knives are a rip off. $35 for 8cr13mov? You can get knives that have much better steel for like 20 dollars, like ganzo which are not all clones.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

They don’t have to all be clones. They make enough for me to pass on them. Really, one clone is enough for me to pass. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@culichi0776]

As someone who owms 3 spyderco, and 2 benchmade knives....I have to go with Ganzo.

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

This is my opinion, and is not directed at any specific KZbin channel. I truely dislike the "mandatory" middle finger flick opening. In the real world EDC usage of my knife, I would never open my knife in a way that "misses" every 3rd or 4th time. I want a safe and reliable opening technique and showing off with a "Spidy flick", or weekend warrior style does not meet my needs of a controlled and unobtrusive opening of my EDC pocket knife. This is my humble opinion.

[@monk13131]

Picked up a Riuke P108 a couple of years ago. Never disappointed. Holds a good edge, smooth action and the first liner lock I've seen with a second lock on the lock.

[@283blood]

Spyderco needs to take a lesson from all these companies, sorry fanboys.

[@huejanus5505]

Spyderco won’t learn any lessons because of the fanboys.

[@spydercoslacker7466]

What are you apologizing for? Stand by your opinion. Don’t know what they could learn from cheap Chinese companies? You’d rather them ship their manufacturing over to China I guess.

[@r.d.sandman6474]

I just wish they’d lose that ugly hole in the blade that they have to actually put in uglier hump on the metal. Not a fan at all.

[@r.d.sandman6474]

@@spydercoslacker7466 What are you talking about? You couldn’t tell Chinese steel from Oregon steel if it slapped you. The Chinese know their steel, learn a new song, this one is getting old.

[@SquireSCA]

Leave the middle finger flick out of the equation. It's a weird way to open a knife, and less efficient than the normal ways. It's like someone went out of their way to find something different because they thought it made them look cool...

[@K3Flyguy]

Absolutely, holes in blades are a liability in a solid real use situation. I am a 30 year bladesmith, most knives today are made to look at and cut the tape that Amazon uses. FACT!!!

[@SquireSCA]

@@K3Flyguy I don't mind the hole in my Spyderco PM2, but I realize that if I had to do true hard use with it, that would be a weak point.

[@Errcyco]

Ganzo blows by the way.. almost toys. When you get some real knives and use them for more than taking photos you’ll appreciate Spyderco and nicer brands that make real tools.

[@willbollman6246]

Ganzo makes clones? Hmm...i know eafangrow does but was unaware ganzo did. Whatever I have a couple of amazing ganzos that kick ass over many of my more expensive knives and they are in no way clones

[@michaelkeyser5272]

It's nice to see some cost-effective knives as so many people think that if it's $100.00 or more its junk, the best knife is the one you have at the time as it's far better than no knife!!

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Absolutely! 👊🏼

Thanks Jona! Never handled the Gobi, but I’ve had pretty good experiences with the AR-RPM9 steel. Haven’t had any issues with corrosion and holds a decent edge.

[@firstlast2514]

The Kubey Atlas, and, Avengers are bad ass knives. Sick lines and just seem like great users. Haven't gotten them yet ,but really looking into them. Kubey has a HUGE line up

[@davidbontz]

Really not trying to sound ignorant but isn’t kubey a brand that started out doing clones just like ganzo? Or are they a legit brand that does all their own stuff? I know they do their own now, but I thought they started in the clone business.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Not to my knowledge…

[@edgblades]

I didn't appreciate my Feldspar until I Rit dyed it (tangerine). Love Tangrams Santa Fe -I get the feeling that they quit producing. My Kubey collection exploded this year. Love Sencut's Snap (very underrated). Great vid!

[@jamesharris1493]

Hi finally someone said something honest the Maileah is a hell of a knife and gets a razors edge with that new steel they got. Two things they have to correct. First plz make Tactical knives CJRB. Two make the Maileah a full size folder plz. Thanks for sharing that Honeybadger,I will check them out. I love tactical knives with a non slip grip. Thank God for Michael Janich. Big shout out to Michael Janich!

I'm not a fan of clone knives, but I do have a Chinese Microtech knockoff. OTF auto Kerambit. D2 steel. 6061 aluminum scales. It's actually quite solid. And I'd rather pay $30 than $400. Microtech produces great blades, but they are terribly overpriced.

[@bothompson4911]

Not that it matters but Firebird/Ganzo knives are in no way clones. Anyways, nice reviews.👍

[@2dthoughts]

Had the Kubey Wolverine w/ micarta in my cart for over a week Bought 2 EF that haven’t showed up yet 1 is a Socom clone and the other was one with micarta inlay for $20 that I had to see in hand. Not sure if it’s a clone or if all their models are clones for that matter.

[@K3Flyguy]

In general today's folding knives are just garbage made to put in cheap knife rolls as "collections". Some are made to old school specs. with brass bolsters, and honest blade locks. Prime example is the folding Buck. If you need a knife for serious tasks there is no substitute for a quality made fixed blade.

I have 3 of those 5 knives...my favorite is the Vector....took about 2 weeks for mine to break in...but mine is smoother and drops shut easier than any of my Benchmades...wait until yours breaks in..I havent taken mine apart, just oiled the pivot and opened and closed it about 150 times before it broke in.

[@EaterOfWorlds78]

I had a Tangram Rumble that I really liked. The Civivi Praxis I had was awful. Everyone seems to like them but mine was badly off center and just generally a junk knife.

[@Nordraw]

Always had “Honey badger” on my most over rated knife on KZbin list.

[@keats27]

Best budget knife on Amazon is the Rat...1 or 2 take your pick, 1 has better ergos, 2 is 3" edc. Can get around 40 bucks in D2. Great construction and design, it's on washers so not AS flicky for you toy people, but if you just have to have a liner lock, get one that's built right. Once the Rat1 is broken in, its action is amazing for a knife on watchers.

[@blvckvv999]

I found my rat to be much more flicky and fun to just play around with than any Civivi I have ever held and those knives are constantly lauded for their action or flickiness or whatever you want to call it.

[@williamlenderman387]

I own the full ti variant of the KB Vagrant but bought it from their website, not Amazon. Maybe could've saved a buck or three going with Amazon. Same story with the Honey Badger small in 8CR and the medium wharncleaver version also in 8CR. The Tangram Vector and the Sencut Scepter are exclusive to Amazon (I think) and at some point will probably get both. I'm still undecided on the Feldspar. I've almost pulled the trigger on one several times but just haven't yet. Due to my current obsession with front flippers, I'll probably opt for a Maileah instead of a Feldspar.

[@WaynesSharpWorld]

Definitely can’t go wrong with either the Maileah or Feldspar! 👌🏼👌🏼🔥🔥

The vector definitely needs breaking in and cleaning. Check out the washers. They have PB and Teflon. And as I recall mine came with the Teflon on the blade side. I flip flopped mine or come to think of it think it had 2 pb and a Teflon on each side and I sandwiched the Teflon in between the two pb and it was so much better.

[@JustIn-op6oy]

Just relaying something a friend brought up regarding gritty action on budget knives that have caged bearings in the pivot - some of that sensation might be attributed to the bearings & cage needing to break in. A buddy was doing the first disassembly of a kizer that was a touch gritty. He was expecting to have to deburr or polish one of the surfaces but everything was really well finished. Since he does a fair bit of modifications and restoration he has a lot of spare & aftermarket parts stored above his workbench. He swapped out the bearings with ones from a different kizer and the grit completely disappeared. To confirm it was the bearings he put the original set of caged bearings in another knife he already knew was super smooth, the action became gritty but still totally functional.

[@bert2530]

Got the Badger, nice action but a bit flimsy and a linerlock, and the Vector, great build and action but a bit small, and like to try out a Sencut. But always “unavailable “ 😳
