Need a new blade...I like them on the bigger size and dont want to spend too much any suggestions?

What do you consider too much? I just got a ZT 350 at the Dulles gun show for $140 that I love.

Kershaw Blur. I carry the blur tanto combo edge everyday. Runs around $50 and you can sometimes find them at wally world. Most important it's Made in USA.

I wouldn't spend over $150 for an EDC. Thanks for the replies so far!!!

Ontario Rat1 folder, also can't go wrong with Cold Steel.

Anything Emerson

I have been carrying a mini CQC. When I know I can have a knife over 3" I carry a SOG Trident Tanto. Both have been great knives.

Benchmade with Axis lock. Superfast deployment, very well made, good steels, and no liner lock to struggle with when closing. (I also sweat the liner lock when using a knife vigorously; keep thinking of accidentally torquing it out of position, slicing a few fingers. Not gonna happen with the Axis).

I like their 710, also have a smaller reverse tanto 940, and might get a Contego. The Axis lock makes everything else feel awkward. YMMV, of course, but I'm totally sold.

For that money, look at the Spyderco Para-Military 2:

http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=472

Made in Colorado
S30V blade
G-10 scales
Liner Lock
4-position adjustable pocket clip
Great ergos and balde shape, in my opinion.

I currently carry the Lone Wolf Longhorn and like it.

Under $50 on amazon

The Doug Ritter MK1 Griptilian is a fine choice, Benchmade griptilian handle and axis lock with an improved 3.5" S30V blade, and for $120 it's a fine choice for EDC. I have been very happy with my Emerson CQC-15, a little pricey, but a fantastic 4" hard used folder under $200, and once you own a wave opening knife, it's hard to go back. IMO higher-end production knives are worth it, there are few other things that you carry constantly, use every day, and can depend on for a lifetime, and a mere $200 gets you a lot of knife. I personally carry a compact multi-tool and large folder, the tool's smaller blade, pliers and screwdriver are very useful for daily tasks, but if you find some boxes that need cutting, rope, bags, or most any large cutting job, you have the large folder. The multi-tool's knife is too small for the big tasks, and a large folder makes a poor screwdriver or wire cutter and even worse pliers. I have settled on a Leatherman Skeletool CX to pair with CQC-15, it's the size of a medium folder, and has a pocket clip, so it is far easier to EDC than the older full-size designs.

Picked this up at the Punkin Chunkin last year

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0049AYJP4/?tag=hyprod-20&hvadid=19396421016&hvpos=1o1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1877652809133762453&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&ref=asc_df_B0049AYJP4

Mine came adjusted such that it could be flicked open with only a wrist motion.

iHasCrabs · Sep 18, 2012

Sorry to kind of thread jack but what about these for an EDC knife. I'm also looking at picking up a new one for under $50ish since I lost my cheapo CRKT

Of the two, I'd probably pick the spyderco. I like G10 handles and spyderco blades are usually pretty durable.

+1 for the VG-10 version. Great deal for the money if you want a huge blade.

RaVis · Sep 19, 2012

For around $60... you can pick up a Cold Steel Voyager X Lg.

:shocked2:

Blade Length: 5 1/2"
Blade Thickness: 4 mm
Overall Length: 12 1/4"

Tenacious is made in China. However, it has worked well for the buddy I gifted one to. I don't know anything about that Buck.

For around $50, look at the made in Japan Delica/Endura. Also the line up from Cold Steel. Take another look at CRKT again as their line up is good. And, if you really shop around on some of the knife forums... you'd be able to snatch up a Benchmade Griptilian for about that.

Good luck!

Pmbspyder · Sep 19, 2012

spyderco military, para 2, or any of the economy models out of china (tenacious, resilience, etc)

A very high quality knife for a great price.

http://www.bladehq.com/item--Boker-Magnum-Urban-Tank--2454
Cheap as cheap can be, but big.

I have found this knife sold for as low as $138 before.
