My own list from SMKW under $20 are lesser known models................From R.R. any of the Wasp series because of the VG-10 steel, any R.R. fixed blade with G-10, Timberlands Hunter, and any of the R.R. single blade bow trappers. Komoran G-10 folder and Komoran linen micarta lockback (Or Marbles version). Bear & Son Edge Money Clip just for how thin and lightweight it is. Silver Falcon Lockback and 2 blade pen knife (VG-10 steel).

[@SMKWcom]

That is an awesome list!

[@cylentone]

Some cool alternatives in that price range... The Cold Steel Spike blades are great neck or boot knives at that price, their Micro Recons are nice as 5th pocket knives, the Mini Tacs are fun little utility knives like the CRKT Minimalist versions in the same price range - very collectible 😉 CRKT also has the budget Squid "holey" version, but the steel isn't special (8Cr).

[@SMKWcom]

We love the Squid!

[@mikereese15]

Love that first blade

[@SMKWcom]

They are sweet!

[@GromMolotok]

Great selection, and agreed that you can't talk sub-$20 without Opinel or Mora. Other suggestions from my own collection would also be Rough Ryders. I have a couple of mini trappers, one in VG10 and one in T10. Both are excellent pocket droppers. And on the larger side, the Classic Carbon II Scout. I'm sure there are plenty more.

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching and great choices!

[@Salamando3D]

I have one of the old school Kershaw Shuffles with the 'K' pattern scales (which I got free w/purchase at one of their warehouse sales they used to do around Christmas time pre--covid!) and I love the versatility of it just like that Antic! Bottle opener, flathead driver, and an itty bitty blade that can handle a lot! Great list full of awesome brands, TC! 👍

[@SMKWcom]

That "K" Kershaw is a classic!

[@TCB2Country122]

That shuffle is a great one too!

[@Salamando3D]

@@TCB2Country122 Yes sir, you know it! 😁

[@nathanwhite5602]

That little cold steal I had never seen one

[@SMKWcom]

Cold Steel makes some awesome small blades

[@Bethany415]

Great selection. The only knife I'd add is the Schrade Tenacity. Modern Aus10 flipper for $19.95. Can't touch that anywhere else.

[@SMKWcom]

Great suggestion!

[@jonathancamps9853]

Highly recommend the mini leatherneck. Very fun to carry

[@SMKWcom]

Great smaller knife!

[@docink6175]

try using a clean oil to lift the grime out of your skin, any oil will work. Then use dawn to wash the oil off... my fav was the leatherneck, I just ordered the double edge. The stockman would be my 2nd choice followed by an opinel in traditional wood

[@MyEnemy]

That little Leatherneck looks nice.

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!

[@galenmullenax4039]

Wow, that selection is totally awesome!! Mora is a super fine knife, and all those that you showed are incredibly priced!! Also glad to hear you do your own oil changes etc. Great showing, TC SMKW!!

[@TCB2Country122]

I’ve always felt like I can only trust myself to do it right.

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching Galen!

[@chaddamron3877]

Mora is a beast for the price - and that T10 RR got bounces back razor sharp , great vid my man👊💥💥👍

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching Chad!

[@bubba92473]

Wow TC that mini leather neck looks like an amazing offering 👏

[@SMKWcom]

It is a great small knife option!

[@TCB2Country122]

It’s one of my favorites for that size and price

[@Athreehourtour]

Great list and vid .. for under $20 hands down Hultafors GK.. it’s a beast see Joe X’s beat down on it. And the Robust

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching!

[@davecapozzi6530]

Rough Ryder in T10 and VG10 blades are not just great blades. They are truly works of art. The Classic Carbon, Classic Carbon II, and Wasp series are all absolute must-owns as well as the denim series in the higher end steels. I have ones I carry, and ones I keep in the box for future family heirlooms. Love ya, smkw!

[@SMKWcom]

We love you too!

[@jasondominguez2806]

I would of liked to see the " rough ryder stopin..berry and angry watermelon" a little conversation piece

[@SMKWcom]

Love the Tadpole in all the colors and kinds!

[@timb4425]

Gotta love a great budget knife. Some excellent choices in the video too! Thanks for sharing TC

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching Tim!

[@thomasmaloney843]

Mora Companion, Cold Steel Finn Hawk, Marttiini Condor Timber Jack. About 20. Victorinox Bantam.

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching!

[@marksaint2936]

Thanks for a video on very reasonable knives and including some non Chinese options.

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching! We love being able to give options at all price ranges 👍

[@IvIidnight]

My favorite sub $20 knife is the S&W HRT D/E Boot Knife. It was the first knife that I bought for myself as a teen, bought 2 with my first paycheck. (I was 15, gotta have one for each hand!)

[@SMKWcom]

Or one for each boot!

[@jamesstork5544]

The Case Blackhorn.

[@KungFuTweety1]

Great choices for this list!

[@SMKWcom]

🙌🙌🙌

[@jimmyking8206]

These are good knives, at a great value.

[@SMKWcom]

That's what we were going for!

[@radar468]

Great knives for the price! Maybe an imperial sod buster or an uncle Henry too

[@SMKWcom]

Love a good Sod Buster!

[@tbryanreynolds]

I’m definitely going to have to stop in and get one of those Cold Steel’s this week! I’ve been thinking about getting a custom fixed blade about that size made for me but I’m not sure if I’d enjoy carrying such things. This would be a great way to test the waters first!

[@SMKWcom]

Testing with a less expensive knife is a great place to start 👍

[@MI_Prepper]

The Mora Robust in Carbon is one of my all time-favoites, especially with a custom kydex sheath. A great "companion knife" for my ESSE Junglass to do finer tasks. I want to cry that Ontario is going out of business. So sad...

[@SMKWcom]

Mora makes a great budget friendly EDC

[@RichardPoogerman]

The Ontario Camp Santoku for $9.99 was a crazy good deal, even if it came in 2CR13MOV 😄 Def would have picked one up.

[@SMKWcom]

Makes a great addition to any EDC

[@hichamtata4774]

Hello mon ami 🫡 merci pour cette belle vidéo et présentation de cette belle palette de beaux couteaux❤ TC 💯 SMKW 💯

[@hdrider2071]

Love you guys showing these budget " tools" 😉

[@SMKWcom]

Love you too! Everyone should use and practice with their tools often

[@kjgas6945]

Excellent video TC!! thanks to your crew and thanks to Smoky Mountain knife Works! Loved the video👍🏻👍🏻🤠🤠🔪🔪

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching KJ!

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Now we’re talking great budget knives that are truly budget! Can’t beat the Electrician Knife! Grab the Ontarios while they’re still here! I would also recommend Opinel and Mora for consideration but they really don’t do anything for me. You could’ve included so many more because of Rough Ryder and Marbles. Sounds like you could use some of Skip’s medicine. That was a nasty sneeze!

[@TCB2Country122]

It came outta nowhere 😂

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for watching Tobias!

[@WilliamWallis]

A full tang Mora for $18. Can’t beat it.

[@SMKWcom]

Mora makes a great blade!

[@CalvinMorris-cf8jk]

the camp plus knife kicks butt I love it I have the other one it is a wonderful knife. I thought it would be a piece of crap but it is a good knife.

[@SMKWcom]

All of the OKC Camp Plus knives have surprised us both budget and usefulness

[@watchcityknives]

That SOG Fielder knife should have definitely been on there but that’s just my opinion.

[@SMKWcom]

A solid choice

[@joeywhite2588]

Great show as always

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks Joey!

[@glenngoins3100]

My favorite was the Mora

[@SMKWcom]

Can't go wrong with a good Mora!

[@rhoxwoodshop5588]

Really hard to beat a Mora.

[@SMKWcom]

💯

[@Dracomies]

While not a timeless deal but moreso just a deal for today the CRK Piet for $15.99 is a good deal. It has oddly become an EDC for me even at its cheap price.

[@SMKWcom]

The Piet is a great EDC

[@franzgeil422]

I learned from an old mechanic friend the old trick of always wearing disposable latex gloves for any and all car work.

[@SMKWcom]

It is a good rule of thumb

[@TCB2Country122]

I usually do but was in a hurry and didn’t feel like going back to the house 😂

[@davidbaize4825]

Isaac, step in and help TC, he’s losing his MIND. Oh, never mind, he sneezed and everything returned to normal 😁👍. Hey Greg, how do you watch him from behind the camera and not laugh out loud???

[@SMKWcom]

I don't have a mic on so I can laugh whenever I want

[@paullambert4445]

Mora all the way! I have 5. 🔪🎸

[@SMKWcom]

Gotta love a Mora

[@timjk32]

SMKW should take over OKC!!

[@hawkknight4223]

Cold Steel Pendleton Hunter lite!

[@davidkilby1043]

Anyone know what Chicago screws fit the D2 CRKT SPEW sheath? My wife got me a ulticlip and the posts are too big for the sheath

[@MI_Prepper]

What is the tang on that cold steel mini leatherneck? What a great deal for that one!

[@rwe1]

Any insight as to whats going on with OKC? Hearing rumors and speculation, some more concrete info would be appreciated.

What’s with the Nerf guns left corner in the back you out of curiosity?

[@SMKWcom]

TC is also the host of our sister store SMGA and that is a great way to show of pew-pew tools and holders when some social media don't like the real ones being shown

[@watchcityknives]

Why would apologize for what a real hard working American’s hands should look like ! Thank You for this great video your a very honorable young man GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
