    Default Under $50 EDC recommendations.

    As much as I'd love to spend $150 or $200 (or more) on a high quality knife, I can't.

    What would your recommendations (or stay way away froms) for a $50 budget.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    I haven't bought an under $100 knife in awhile, but I've heard good things about the Spyderco copies, Bird I think is the name of the brand. CRKT is the last "cheap" knife I bought, they seemed to work well enough.

    They don't come up for sale too often on here, but if you could spare an extra $40, that Zero tolerance 0350 that just sold on here was a great knife for $90.

    Just slightly over your target price, but mine has been rock solid for the two years I have had it. It has been in the ocean several times and carried daily. It's light and solid, but as always YMMV

    I think you can find the Kershaw/Emerson collaborator knives for around that price. Mine has been carried daily for a few years with no issues.

    It's light, flips open easily, and is sized right for my needs.

    I forgot about these, Sportsmans warehouse sells them, and priced in your budget.
