What's the cheapest knife...

[Beerman]

A lot of Kershaw's are affordable and durable. Even the Chinese ones.

The Lightning Autos are great as well for the $!

One of the top on my list would be the Ontario Rat 1 or 2. These are without a doubt, one of the best sub $30 EDC blades that are out there!

I agree BW.. Also I will throw in the Mora as well as everyone else.

Ozark Trail Pocket Knife - WalMart. Buy 10 @ $1.97 ea. Break one grab another, repeat until job finished, hand cut or stock gone. j/k, I do have a couple laying around, but prefer gerbers, bucks or other more quality knives.

All of the Kershaws I have bought have been a lot of knife for the money. Most recently the little Kershaw Leek. On the other size extreme, I have two big camp knives which are great.

I get what you're saying, but that's a lot of waste when you could get one decent knife that isn't a piece of ****.

Kershaw chill is $17.00 and really surprised me it gets carried most often and my endura & leek sit in the drawer

I have a free boyscout pocket knife that was left on my archery range in 2000. It goes with me everywhere as my swiss army knife. I like it, just as much as my bench made.

Picked up a Gerber, bout a 4" fixed blade, in a pawn shop for around $10. Takes and holds an edge as well as any 440 stainless. Good truck knife.

my EDC is a cheap Gerber 425 "ez-out". Had it 10+ years with no issue.
