dammit if i didn't lose mine recently...ideally, i'd like a half-serrated, one-hand-opening pocket knife that has a clip and is of a decent brand...it's been awhile since i've bought any knives, so i don't know who puts out the best anymore (used to be gerber and buck were awesome, but who knows)...i know i COULD just go to walmart or dick's or wherever and get one, but i thought i'd check here first 6/19/2006 6:51:10 PM |

Big Lots on Western has some nice pockets knives with nice prices. For example, I bought my pocket knife from Wally World for $12, and went there the next day to look at some stuff, and saw the exact same knife for $6. Its worth a look. Look down the tool isle. 6/19/2006 7:02:39 PM |

everyone needs mroe than 1 knife. Price is not what makes a knife, ease of use is. If it wont hold and edge, wont stay locked open, wont hold up to normal use, its nto easy to use. If it is a flea market $2 made in china rip off, but holds an edge and works great, its an ok knife. I tend to buy Cold Steel or Columbia River stuff for my good knives, however i have several cheap ones that work just fine.
If you want a beat it up and cant break it everyday sue knife, spring for a http://www.crkt.com/m16edcz.html i use mine every day as a work knife, works well for things that a boxcutter is nto big enough for.
I also have a small fixed blade from them, http://www.1sks.com/store/crkt-ryan-plan-b.html, i got it for $10 when guns plus in fayetville cleared out the stock once it got discontinued. 6/19/2006 11:24:19 PM |

I have one of these Id sell for ~75. http://www.thebladeshop.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=223
btw....never sharpened, so the blade is still awesome. the knife overall is still in excellent condition.

i'll be contacting some of you later (i'm kind of busy today, but really looking to buy something before i go out of town on friday)
^ i noticed the frame is titanium...why would they only make the frame out of titanium and not the blade too? serious question, not trying to be sarcastic 6/20/2006 4:22:55 PM |

titanium may not hold an edge as well as the steel they use. 6/20/2006 11:59:23 PM |

I have a Ruko half-serrated one-hand-opening with a clip and a 90 mm blade. But I can't sell it. It was about $30 at a gun store a few years back. 6/21/2006 6:35:48 AM |

2nd that, state surplus sells lots of pocket knifes. You can get them by the dozen for cheap. I think they now are trying to put them on ebay in lot sizes for like 10 bucks just cause they have so many.6/21/2006 7:13:59 AM |

are teh knives at the auction nice? (ie not disposable crap) If so, I wouldnt mind going there...but flea market quality knives suck. 6/21/2006 9:07:35 AM |

flea market quality knives CAN suck...kylekatern is right...i have a flea market knife (one of the old buck knock-offs with the wood and brass handle) that i've used in camping for over a decade...it holds its edge quite well, it has no rust spots, and i've abused it (since it only cost $4)
but yeah, you can never have too many knives, and keeping a few high-quality knives is a must 6/21/2006 9:43:35 AM |

I agree...I have a pawn shop knife I bought 4 years ago, its a pointy switchblade w/ no safety, and it still works awesome...It's the little plastic handled Jaguars that I was refering to, as being crappy. 6/21/2006 10:57:00 AM |

60 flat is as low as I am willing to go then, as my knife has seen little real use, and this kind of knife will not ever be $20 lol
