The Ontario Rat series seriously re set the bar for budget EDC knives. It will forever be a classic

[ericp]

My son bought me a Pyrite for Xmas. This is my first EDC knife and I love it. Thank you for the review MC!

The knife center has a new Vision FG exclusive in S35vn and real solid carbon fiber for 135 bucks. It's the best version of the vision I have seen. So awesome.

[MrBowser]

It was only after I owned a Blur, a PM2, and a ZT that I decided I needed a Rat1 and 2. They are great knives for “not-so beginners” too👍🏼

The first "fancy" good knife I got was the civivi chevalier. I wanted it because it was a button lock on bearings with a flipper, sheepsfoot blade and micarta . I did a bunch of research cause 70 bucks is a lot to me. Still like it a lot

I have so many expensive knives but the civic vision fg is one of my favorite knives to carry for edc use. Especially as a lefty it is the most figit friendly knife.

We honestly have the majority of knives you've listed on here. The Verona we just got for my hubby 3-4 weeks ago - we both love it. His bigger hand loves the size - we got the all black variation with G-10. For less than $55 you cannot beat it if you need a bigger sized knife. I have the more higher end version with the carbon fiber and M390 steel. I absolutely love it and it's besides my seat along with the nicer QSP Puffin I picked up. LOL

Based only on knives I own and use, hunting, camping, and edc: Buck 110, Brisa Necker, Buck Vanguard, Boker Plus Trapper, Buck 110 Slim Select. All used for years and all have never let me down.

Love my Miguron Velona. I got the 4.22 inch blade. Incredible knife!

[timtitus]

I own 2/3rds of the knives you've shown and agree with your opinions on them. My Vision FG is taking a break from carry while my Griptillians are occupying my pocket. Thanks for the video.

The drop point Pyrite is a gorgeous, non-threatening looking pocket knife that's also fun to fidget with in between cardboard and package slicing.

[Bulldog]

OMG, you had me at RAT II. I love this piece and it is a total overachiever. MAN does it snap open. Yikes, my Elementum is awesome too. It is right down the middle of perfection.

[Fishbag]

Great vid, MC!
I have most of the knives on the list as well as a few hundred others, the RAT is a classic and will forever remain on lists such as this. I have several versions including the S45vn G10. Having said that, I'd love to see it offered in even more upgraded steels and handle materials.

[badflash]

I recently purchased 3 folders for the first time since 2017, and wow has the landscape changed. All 3 are in this list too!
Baby Banter is my fav small knife hands-down.
Pyrite-Alt is a great size, weight, and blade geo but I’m not in love with the button lock.
The Vision FG? Holy cow it that a smooth operator. It has the best action I’ve felt this side of $250. Time to dye the scales and maybe drill an extra weight-hole!

[EldritchHartForge]

I really can confirm that the Vision FG is absolutely peak, best sub $100 folder in my opinion, especially being a lefty.

[stevelewis]

I've had my Elementum for about 2 years. It's a copper scaled version. The older ones are liner lock. It's still a daily user.

[TheIronwil]

Vision FG is a stupendous knife. I got the Damascus version and dyed my scales graphite. Looks perfect and is the #1 fidget beast in my collection. I got one for my wife, daughter, and a friend. So good.

[papa_edc]

I love my RAT 2 and Baby Banter. A Pyrite is definitely on my priority list.

[not-a-raccoon]

14:33. Yeah. Its an absolute home run. I slapped a titanium clip on mine and its freaking perfect now.

[godsangryhands]

As a new Returning collector.. Recently I purchased a CIVIVI CETOS with Carbon fibre scales and Damascus blade steel. GOOD LOOKIN BLADE at around $100.00 or so, Nice!
