ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Whoa, what a thread! I just stumbled on it.

I currently don’t EDC any knives. The only knife I have is an old Swiss Army multi-tool pocket knife that sits in my tool bag.

I’m looking to purchase a budget knife for camping trips. It doesn’t need to be super small. Something good for cutting food, carving wood, general purpose. I started looking at Honey Badger Flipper (large), but I don’t know if that would be the correct tool for the above application. There is the new D2 version, but it’s $60. Not sure if I need D2 steel. I only go camping a couple of times a year, and even then, I don’t often need to use the knife, so if there is something else for less money that you guys would recommend, please do.

Thanks!

Find that go,comma 10buk flipper. Awesome for the bux…

Is it this one?

Hi people!
For a while I’ve been using my Sanrenmu LUI-SH1. I also have the SH version, which I don’t use much due to the reasons below.
I like it because it is small enough, it has been reliable and I don’t use it for super hard works or something that needs a better knife.

However, its’ pocket clip is not the best for my use/carry as it is not reversed, either to carry it in my pockets or in my wallet.

So, I would like a suggestion for a similar knife (black colour, measurements around 16cm (length open) x 2,5cm (width closed) x 0,8 cm (height on the scales) ), with the p*ocket clip coming from the bottom*. Budget would be up to 20-25€ max.

In case this is not possible, I would ask for suggestions on how to reverse the clip to make it “bottom-up”.
The “small Sebenza” would fit most of the requirements, but that price is far above of what I would ever pay for a knife.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions :+1:

This.

The Small Sebenza clone is nearly in your budget at around 30€…
Lovocoo Small Sebenza

This is a mighty fine fixed blade that will serve you well for what you need.

Ganzo makes a mighty fine fixed blade as well. If you don’t plan on carrying them on a regular basis a fixed blade will do real nice at the campsite.

Not black, same knife as above, closer to your budget:

Slightly bigger (18cm) but as a flipper:

Be careful that’s not same as the Lovocoo version.

Thanks X3, I guess I missed that in my extensive AliExpress search. It is not black, but may serve my requirements in some way :wink:
It is still bigger than mine, and not black but the pocket clip may do the trick. And despite being a clone, seems to have good quality.

Thanks for your suggestions too, Adahn! Those seem even slightly bigger then the SRM. Still, may become an option in case I need a similar bigger knife!
Thanks again :+1:

You’re welcome. And Isti is most likely right, for the actual use both with serve the purpose I guess.

So now a family shot with a “banknote” from a bottle with “alcohol that smells so good but tastes yuk!” as my son said so.

My first flipper. Woohoo!

That’s a very good start! :+1: Especially the color! :wink:

Thanks, isti242. Your review of this knife was partly responsible for me pulling the trigger on it. :slight_smile:

On an unrelated topic, this fixed blade Morakniv stainless knife is on sale for $8.99, after a $2 off WOOTLUCK coupon applied at checkout. Shipping is free if you have Amazon Prime.

Not sure how good these knives are. Amazon reviews seem very positive.

Thanks for the heads up about the Mora deal Pete. Those are actually very decent knives & the price is a steal. :+1:

Absolutely. Mora Companions are fantastic knives.

An Opinel and a Mora, that's all you need

ok just kidding!

New Kizer Domin Mini is out. 2.85” blade versus the 3.5” original blade length. Looks pretty nice. I don’t know if these are new or just, new to me. I like Kizer knives so I thought I would share. Not affiliated with this site or anything. I just like their selection and free shipping on any order.

The minis are new. For me even the full sized Domin is quite EDC friendly thanks to its slim design.

I wish more companies (Chinese) would offer a Mini line. I find something with a blade length between 2 7/8” & 3 1/8” just about perfect in a folder. Not to big, so it is easily controllable; yet big enough for most any chore expected of a folder…. up to and including dressing most American big game. ymmv
