There is no shortage of EDC knives out there, but if you want to buy an awesome knife and you want a Spyderco, start with any one of these below (in no particular order).
So, you have $50 burning a hole in your pocket and you want a new EDC knife? Well, $50 is the new $100, but your cash doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to. However, I was able to find several gems and solid folders that are worth your hard-earned cash.
It’s worth noting upfront that you simply can’t get a perfect knife for $35. You pretty much always have to sacrifice something at that price point. You might end up with a razor-sharp blade that has zero corrosion resistance, or you get a knife with a great blade and a mediocre handle.
I picked up the Trivisa Lynx-03B a few weeks ago while I was trolling Amazon for a deal. My interest was piqued by the pictures alone, the knife looked pretty cool. The Lynx-03B has all the specs one might be looking for in an EDC knife and, at around $65, it’s fairly priced for a S35V
I’ve had the Gerber Principle sitting on the corner of my workbench for almost 7 months now. I opened it up, inspected it, and then just left it in the box sitting there. I’m not sure why I haven’t paid it any attention but every time I went out to the garage there it was,…
Part of the popularity of this knife has certainly come from its backstory—BPS Knives has been giving them out to Ukrainian soldiers since Russia invaded earlier this year—but I wanted to know if there was more to the Adventurer than just a good story.
No financial advisor would ever recommend getting into knife collecting. And Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite is one that cost significantly more nowadays.
I’ll get straight to the point. If you want a good pocket knife, you should be willing to spend $100 on it. Now, hear me out…
The Cold Steel Leatherneck SF is a knife that makes a great impression right out of the gate. It has a classic design with some modern tweaks that give it an edge (please forgive the pun) over some of its competitors. The “SF” in this knife’s full title stands for Semper Fidelis, the motto of…
I would like to think I’m a knife guy; I own a bunch of pocket knives, I use an EDC knife almost everyday, and I am always looking for another good knife. I have my favorites that I always carry and I have been severely disappointed with some knife purchases. I’ve cut myself flicking my knife…
Today we’re looking at the Cold Steel 17T Kobun Tanto, a unique fixed blade knife with a Japan-inspired design. It’s proven popular as a tactical blade and is well-designed for concealed carry.
The Tenacious is what you might call an entry-level Spyderco knife. You can get one just about anywhere—heck, even Wal-Mart has them—and for some knife aficionados, getting a Tenacious is the first step in a lifelong obsession with Spyderco knives.
Quick Overview: First and foremost, the Weyland Kukri Machete looks better in person than it does on Amazon. I bought it on a whim to see what you get for $35 and was blown away. For the money it’s a great performer. It even is better than may kukri I’ve tried that cost twice as…
Quick Overview: The Terrasaur is a solid choice for many situations. Carving out a spot in the traditional Bushcraft Knife world, this guy offers a real alternative to the Morakniv. If you’re looking for a good bushcraft knife and your budget is $50 or so, the Condor Terrasaur is one of the best and most…
Good things often come in small packages. The Mini Hudson Bay knife from Condor is a good example to back up that axiom, and it’s also proof that words like ‘small’ and ‘mini’ are entirely relative. The Mini Hudson Bay might look miniature when held up against the original Condor Hudson Bay knife, but by…
Self-defense is a very nuanced topic. Some of the best tools for it might not be available. Or you might want to broaden your arsenal with something different.
If you have read any of my posts you know I have a harsh, love / hate relationship with multitools. I want to love them, I really do, but they really are so disappointing in the long run. Before you freak out, I own over 10 Leatherman, multiple no-name full size multitools and an original Swiss Tool. So, it’s not that I don’t have experience with them. I just feel they are a compromise in many situations.
