Laxplayer19x93 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hey guys, I am looking to get a new pocket knife, but I don't want to spend too much. Could anyone recommend a good knife for ~$30? Thanks, I really appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
101matt1 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 The Gerber F.A.S.T. is a $35 assisted opening knife. GREAT knife for the price. If you don't really care or want assisted opening, go with a Spyderco. Great knives as well, and you can find them fairly cheap. Someone else may be able to suggest a more specific model.

Punkypink Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 pocket knife? How about a Victorinox One hand trekker like mine? It's about US$30 in the states I think, got loads of stuff and can still be opened one handed like normal pocket knives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grimm Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Nah, who is into knifes, knows what a beauty the F1 is, and would understand even without pics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moriquende Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 (edited) Nice F1. Fällkniven knives are probably the best production bushcraft knives after Bark Rivers.

Moriquende Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) You people scare me Just re-read this whole thread. Can't *fruitcage* believe I actually wrote such a thing. Anyway, very nice HAK! Keep it dear because, as far as I know, FS is out of business. Edited November 28, 2008 by Moriquende Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The General Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Emerson Commander is a varied product. To be blunt the QC is rubbish. I have handled possibly 50 Emerson knives in person and not one of them was right. Most often you have blade centering issues, liner lock movement and pocket knife walk and talk. Many have failed a simple but firm spine tap on a book. Nothing excessive, just a firm tap and the blade fails after the first couple of taps. They are cool looking knives though and the wave is a very nice feature that in no way makes the knife illegal. The thing that is currently being focused on by HMCE is gravity opening. Benchmade knives in particular are failing this test. If you order any knife from over sea's, make sure if it has an adjustable pivot screw that this is tightened to the point where it is difficult to open the knife. IMHO a much superiour knife to anything Emerson make is the Spyderco Manix. Thats a heck of a knife. In a fixed blade I have a Bark River Bravo 1 attached to my PLCE webbing set. Here is a pic of one of my fav knives. Anso fixed blade (custom knife) RWL-34 stainless steel. Also a knife I made myself with the help of a good friend of mine Trond. Thats in the Scandi general style, but its a longer blade than normal. Its full flat ground which is also unusual. Its laminated steel with an O1 core of high carbon, wrapped in Iron. This is a traditional hand forged blade, the forging was done by me and the finishing and handle by Trond. There are a few stress cracks in the blade, but nothing to stop this blade being fully functional. I am considered to be something of an authority where knives are considered. Not blowing my own trumpet, but if anyone has any knife releated questions let me know. I was a Mod on Britishblades for a few years and am a Mod on Jerzeedevil. Both very well regarded knife forums. I am still a regular on both forums. Same forum name of course. I own quite a few custom knives as well as some Randal knives. My fav folders are the Chris Reeve Sebenza folders and anything by Spyderco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moriquende Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) This knife was flawed when I got it. The blade had major pivot side-to-side movement and it chipped easily. Only the edge chipped, though. Probably got to hot when it was sharpened. Anyway, I decided to see what it could take so I put it in a vice and started bending... Here's the result: Edit: Please excuse the slightly blurry pics, the camera I'm currently using is *suitcase*. Edited December 10, 2008 by Moriquende Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Well it's got a blade in it (someplace): Also with my cheap (but pretty bright) LED flashlight and Zippo butane propane lighter, neither of which I carry as often as my Swiss Tool but I still usually have them. I had to walk through a metal detector once. It was slightly reminiscent of that one scene in The Matrix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 My new stabber, Gerber LMF-2, in Coyote. It's really awesome. Big, beefy blade, holds an edge really well. Everything I want in a fixed blade Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Planning on getting one of these meself, but it's probably going to be a much more luxurious. one. If I can save enough cash that is. That Brock looks very nice aswell, any idea where I might find one? And so I don't spam, pics of my new 930 Kulgera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
