Best Knife Under $100

[OrangeCrate]

As pointed out in this thread, there's a lot of good knives under $100.

This one is my personal favorite...

(Excellent, non-slip grip for a small knife. I bought mine at Bass Pro, several years ago.)

But I've already got an Endura. (in VG10)

Bumping this thread because. . . . . now the above statement is no longer true.

So now I'm back on the hunt. Another Endura, but this time in ZDP-189, is probably at the top of my current list.

your not suppose to stick it on electrical connections ya big dummy!

 

[esrice]

You're also not supposed to cut big wires without first cutting off the power.

(I wasn't the guy doing it, thankfully )

 

[Clay]

lol, thank goodness!

so now I have to know, is the Endura in zdp189 available with the wave????? I cant find one online.

I don't believe it is. No biggie for me though, as I could do without the Wave.

When I clipped it back in my pocket today my wife said "Umm..... isn't that your broken knife?" I said "yeah, but it isn't broken to the point where it wouldn't seriously hurt someone."

I need a folder though. . . .

Not that a Cassel wharny blade would be so bad. . . . .

 

[cubby]

well. if you get a back up, and don't mind me giving it a shot, i can try to fix it. no charge..... looks like it could be salvaged into a wharny or similiar... might not be the most sexy knife ever... but thats too good a knife to toss out!

Let's do it.

Well shoot. Spyderco sent me back an email and said that its the worst electrical damage they've ever seen to one of their knives. They also offered me 35% off a replacement if I sent it to them.

So cubby, it looks like I'm gonna have to cash this in on a new ZDP Endura. Sorry bud!

 

[Clay]

35% of retail? I would pass.
