$50 knife?

[GTN]

my son just gave me a gift cert to Field Stream/Dicks. I could buy ammo but when my kids give me cash I like to buy something that will be with me for awhile.
Any good little folders for $50 you recommend?

Any of the US made Kershaws are good, try to find a Skyline. Cryo sucks stay away from that one. I think you can also get a Blur for around that and its an excellent knife. If you spot any of the FRN handled Spydercos (Delica, Endura, ect) those are also great knives.

I've never held one but I always like the look of this knife. {{ MetaInformationFactory.getTitle() }}

Do not spend $50 on a Leek. Good knife but you can get them for $30 or less at Walmart. Or $25 at Menards should you ever venture west.

I love spyderco knives. I own three, they are awesome. My oldest is 4 years, and it's my edc.

For the money though I don't think one could do any better than the Skyline, and I've seen those in Dicks.

What are you looking to use it for? EDC, random tasks, throw in a pack, hunting?.......I have a Kershaw Brookside which is a dicks exclusive model that is usually on sale for $20 and its a good "cheap" EDC....They sell Havalon Piranta-Edge which is a great exchange a blade knife for skinning and such. They have some decent Buck knives or the SOG Twitch II is a nice little knife.

I can never seem to make up my mind as what I want and what I want it for.
I went to the dicks store in Watertown and found pretty much nothing in knives. The few that they had were some of the ones I already have. Then I started looking at the multi tools like a leatherman because I don't have one of those. I also know absolutely nothing about them and what I would need so I said screw it and walked out

What do you need to know about Leathermans?
I have a Leatherman Charge TTI and find it to be an outstanding tool. Based on my experience with it I'd definitely say................... get the wave instead. Has 1 less tool but costs nearly $100 less and doesnthe same things as the fancier Charge.

Also the more I think about it the more I think you should get rhe Kershaw Skylines. One of the best EDC knives available at any price. There are S30V versions available if you want to spend the extra money.

I got a multitool in the secret santa last yr. Love it.

 

[Wolfspotter]

I'll second the Kershaw Blur, carrying one at the moment. Also like the Kershaw Volt II even though it's made in China.

You call that a knife?

Every now and again I'll see a guy with a big ol' sheath knife on their hip in the truck stops.

Oh, and again, best Kershaw, indeed of any make, for under $50 is the Skyline.
Its better than the Blur.
