Help with knife buying decision *Decision made*

[EightySix]

I'm in the market for a edc knife. What in your opinion would be a good choice in a edc pocket knife for no more then $75.

So far I am liking these;

Kershaw Blur (S30V)

Spyderco Delica4 (VG10)

Kershaw Shallot

BENCHMADE 551 GRIPTILIAN (154cm)

I've got a handful of cheapie mtech's that I snatched on amazon for 10-25.00. knock the brand all you like- i like them better than my gerber and carry them everyday.

I've been EDC-ing the S30V blur for the past 4 months or so and like it a lot. The steel is definitely worth the extra price IMO.

I EDC a SOG Trident. I think it might be in your price range off of amazon. I like the spyderco over that Kershaw if that's your only two options.

I have a Delica4 coming in on Thursday as part of my stocking dealer order with Spyderco if you want to see it in person.

Definitely not my only 2 options, just the 2 I found that I am considering right now.

How are you liking the AUS8 steel on that Trident?

difference between your 75.00 knife and this 7.00 knife? Note that this one is 4.5/5 stars with 300 reviews.

I use this thing daily for boxes, cords, all kinds of crap really. Never give it TLC and it just won't dull. Bought a few to toss in bags, truck, etc. Figured "cheap so what if I lose it". This lil bugger was immediately upgraded to my pocket and never leaves.

I have five of these knives. They def work very very well for a 7 dollar knife!

I'll take your word on it and pick one up. For 7.00, not much to lose.


I have a AMEX giftcard valued at 75.00 and always wanted a decent knife.

Kershaw Shallot is another good option.

Kershaw Shallot will be added to my list. Thanks

I had two of these and loved them. I lost both of them because my safety harness would pull them out of my pocket

Save a few more $$ and buy a Benchmade. You will be happy you did.

That is what I carried prior to going with Kershaw.

You won't be disappointed with a made in USA Kershaw.

Delica. But I switched to one of their 2.5" knives not too long ago. Can't remember what they called it, but it has their wave blade. It works.

Added BENCHMADE 551 GRIPTILIAN Axis to list. Just a few dollars more
