$300.00 knife budget. What would you buy?

[M67]

Ahhhh, I can remember the good old day thinking that $300 would be a lot to spend on a knife. WTH happened?

Yup, the good ol days when you kept telling yourself "I'll never spend that much on a knife".

Now it's research a gun for 5 months, save the money, then impulse buy a knife that is $150 more than the gun.

Man do times change

Double your investment and buy yourself a Randell.... Any Randell

Mods you may end this thread.

Randall knives are very nice but definitely not the end all be all they use to be. I happen to think most are over priced in the terms of materials. they are very nice knives but definitely not a thread ender!

Lol I remember when I bought my first 200 dollar knife and couldn't believe I spent that much on a knife. Now I carry a 500 dollar folder around as my edc lol. 300 dollars can get you a damn fine blade from a lot of custom makers and from some very nice production companies.

Brad or Knifelady will have no problem helping you spend your money and they keep some awesome blades in stock.

some companies not mentioned yet are Fehrman knives, big hunks of 3v. Bark river has some great blades now in pretty much any super steel you want. Pohan Leu makes some stupid sharp amazing fixed blades folders.

Grunt is absolutely correct on this. Randall knives are very good knives, but from a quality and material viewpoint, they are just average in my book. Part of the reason they demand a high price is because most people do not want to wait 5 years when ordering straight from Randall. This has created a secondary market that commands a premium on Randall knives, and people are willing to pay it to avoid the waiting time when ordering direct. This is just like Hinderer knives, unless your LEO or Military, most people will pay the premium on the secondary market to avoid the waiting time.

I want to know how much this costs. But then again I kinda don't because I don't want to know how much I paid for my own murder weapon when my fiance finds out about it.

Don't hold me to this, but when I checked a year or so ago, Direware's basic folders started out in the $800 to $900 range. Their really bad as* ones were $1500.00 on up with several going for over $2000.00

I said I didn't want to know! Awe man she really would stab me if I spent that much on a knife.

I think I'll stick to my $300.00 budget.... For now.

I really like Dozier's knives, especially his DK models......simple, but elegant.

Note: The DK model is a collaboration between Dozier & Kressler...thus the "DK" model name.

I would buy a Micro tech OTF automatic since they are now legal in Indiana

 

[dshaf]

I'm looking to buy a Micotech OTF auto myself if anyone has one available

Yup, those skinners are awesome. That's the reason I bought the Phat Bob, had that look but at a fraction of the price.

Good info on the DK, I didn't know that.

What would you buy and why?

$300?? I would put $300 with it and buy another Glock.

Ewwww

If your paying $600.00 for a Glock I hate to tell you but your getting ripped off.

Why not buy a fine high end blade that will last you the rest of your life?

 

[kawtech87]

Ewwww

Ahh hes new. Give him a little while skimming the cutting edge forum and he will see what a real knife should look like.
