Looking for a knife?

Question

Im looking for a good quality knife for under $40 and I am probally going to want a 3- 5inch blade folder or fixed but it must be durable

Answer 1

Wow! I had no idea that the width of my palm was the legal limit of my knife, or is it the width of your palm?
Absolute nonsense!

Check with local police for regulations regarding knives in your area!
Try the SOG Flash II, I have enjoyed them for the last 3 years, and is the only knife I will ever buy again.

The price they advertise is MUCH more than you will have to pay for it.

Answer 2

I like CRKT or SOG. But I do own several Gerber and Buck knives. I just got the SOG Flash II and it's a good knife. I don't like the plastic handle though, blade is good on it. Personally I'd go with any CRKT M-16 or M-21 knife. the full/medium sized ones not the little ones. They are great knives. Each company I listed have several knives that I love. You just have to shop around. And as far as the palm of your hand deal. In my state the blade has to be under 4 inches for folders and no more than 8 inches for fixed blades. If you conceal either (with the exception of a pocket knife i.e. no clip/sheath that everyone can see) your gonna get into trouble. check your local laws.

Answer 3

That budget is a little tight, but you might be able to find a good Buck M-110 Folding Hunter in or near that price range. I've carried one for the biggest part of 30 years.

I suggest you check out Smokey Mountain Knifeworks and Atlanta Cutlery's websites. Both have some very good deals on good quality knives.

OK something a bit different \www.sportsmensguide.com \ German military combat knife \ jx6m-98535 \\$19.97 \\ one of the best knife,s i own easily sharpen,s and the quality on the steel hay your not finding that much better for under $40.00 usd \\\ now if your going for a folder ya get a Gerber with a gut hook

Answer 5

Gerber for a fixed blade and Kershaw for a folder. Decent quality, decent price.

Answer 6

Smith & Wesson SWAT. very good liner lock blade. I have used for about 4 years and it is still cutting. They are about 40 to 50 and very high quality. I also own Cold steel and they can get pricey. I replaced my Cold steel with my S&W. I got mine from a local army navy surplus store.

Hope that helps. Good luck
