My EDC is a CRKT M16. I can flip it open faster than I can flip open my assisted ones.


But...
I've maxed out my cheap knife collection, so time to upgrade.

My edc is a CRKT Ignitor, and I friggin love that knife. Fire safe lock keeps blade closed until purposely opened, assist is quick, locks nicely, sharpens easily, G10 scales, and right around $30-$40.

At work I generally have a Kershaw Zing. Its perfect for me because its thin in my pocket. I mainly use a box cutter at work, but the Zing is a great backup.

I had a discussion with a buddy last week who doesn't and will never "get" the concept of paying more for a knife that does essentially what a cheaper knife will do. That's okay. However, when he described what he wanted, I realized he needed a Mora. Unless you absolutely need a folder, I can't imagine a better value for a "budget" knife, and in fact they perform better than many knives that cost considerably more.

I like the 2 I have, (Companion heavy duty and utility). Seems they have a model for every job as well, with fillet knives, light my fire, etc.

It looks like a Lion Steel knife with a benchmade axis lock lol. But then again Gonzo does have a bad habit of copying other companies designs.

What do you think the chances are that it's actually 440C?

I have ordered a few from lazy lizard gear before and really like the few I have. I was recently looking at his stuff again as I'm looking for another budget folder myself.

Stock Knives - Lazy Lizard Gear

He also sells upgraded versions with better washers and such as needed. He buys a lot but only sells the good/better stuff and for the cost they are well worth a try. He has a lot of testing videos too you could look at. The last one I got was a sanrenmu 7010 in black and it has held up amazingly well, not even counting that I got it for under $20. I have several "good" knives but these work well enough for me and I will be getting one or two more to see how they do. For the money they are totally worth it to me anyway.


I also am now looking at those Condor Bushlores, I had looked at them before but forgot to pick one up. I need to fix that!
