Looking for an inexpensive folding blade.

>>882600
Opinel

>>882600
CRKT
Kershaw
Some cold steels
Some Ontarios
Some spydercos

Gerber if you have no self respect or soul.

>>882604
Something flat please.
I am already considering an Opinel for other purposes.

>>882605
My last job gave me a 50% discount on CRKT, and Kershaw, but only 2 weeks out of the year, and I got laid off before that time came. I'm quite upset, and I cant see myself paying full price.

Looking at the other two brands, seem to both go for $40+
I am honestly looking for something $20 or under, I abuse the hell out of my blade at work, and I dont want to carry something that nice on me.

>>882607
SVORD a good company? Looks like they make the cheapest carbon blade knife, I think these would last better than SS for my line of work.

>>882611
sorry for same fagging hard, but http://stores.ebay.com/edcgears/ has a lot of decent shit super cheap. I think im gonna buy $30 worth of crap or so, see how they perform, and if I like it, and it breaks, buy a better version of it elsewhere.

I mean $4 shipped for a fucking knife, what can go wrong?

Japan guy from last thread here.

So, I've bought myself a Schrade F26 for the trip.

>It's cheap enough to try ($30)
>Reviews are great
>1/4" blade thickness
>chopping blade
>within the legal limit

Did I do well?

>>882607

Just buy a Ganzo off gearbest.

>>882622

>Schrade

They're great knives

I have 36 and 37 survivals

They and Condor Bushcraft are my /out/ knives

>>882622

1/4'' thick blades are way overrated - 1/8'' thick with good quality steel (O1, A2, 3V, etc.) is very durable, and slices much better.

Ontario RAT 1 & 2

There are tons of Kershaws too if you don't like the RAT. Also Byrd, Spyderco's budget brand.

Opinel if you want carbon steel.

And get a ferro rod. You can start fires and sharpen the knoife at the same time!

>>882609
Yeah the L6 Svord uses is a great steel

are people so freaking lazy they cannot take 5 seconds to even look for knife threads, good lord

>>873949

Randall made or GTFO

Condor T&K
Or
Ontario?

Which is better for the outists?

Neither?

>>882663
You are an idiot.

>>883218
Condor 4 me. Sheaths are far superior.

I only have 5. The Stratos is my new one. Love it.

>too thick
>recurve
>guard
>hollow (?) grind with secondary bevel

6/10 doesn't look like a bad blade but not what I would have bought.

>>883239
Yeah bout sums it up for me also

anybody have this knife?

i was wondering how it does
if you like it or not.

>>884370

Pretty solid knife. Never hear any real complaints...When I do, it's mostly about how they don't like the grind, would prefer some thing else, like a convex grind.

I like them both. If you are trying to be budget friendly, I'd go with condor for that. The leather sheaths that come with the knives are pretty damn nice.

I carry not mine, pic related. The Condor Hudson bay. Hell of a knife, I got it for only 45 dollars. Sheath alone is worth that almost.

>>884370

google Ray Mears Woodlore - any variation of the design that is reasonably well made will be solid enough.

>>883218

Both are fine brands

It depends on what type of knife you want here

Condor has a lot more variety, so they might have something Ontario doesn't have

Typical millenials. Too impatient for anything. I don't even want to think about the wines and bourbons you drink.

>>885102
Only drink blanco tequila, because screw waiting 12 years for something to mature. You know what ai mean? Otherwise I would just sniff petrol.

By the way, how old is your daughter?

Your child probably would have taken less dicks if it were a girl.

Is there a way to test my knives' blades? I've hit them all against a pine fence board about 30 times and they still cut paper.

>>885469

Cut abrasive material, like cardboard, then see if you can cut paper with it, and how slowly (the slower the cut, the better)

>>885482

They can all cut through cardboard and cut paper after. One 8cr13mov, one cpm s30v, one zdp 189. By hitting them against the fence board I mean slashing against it and taking out chunks of it. Thought that would do more than cardboard.
