The vosteed is easy #1. Love it. 65 bucks. Good action. Good lock. 65 bucks you can lose it, let someone use it and it's not like handing someone a pm2 or losing a $200 knife. Easy #1

I know I’m getting old when I miss seeing the Rat on this otherwise great list.

[Joey-ioyf]

Kizer needed more love on this list imo.

[mangobadger]

Glad to see the Lander 1 being recognized. It’s one of those knives that looks deceptively plain, but it handles and functions more smoothly than its price should allow. I honestly wouldn’t have considered it a real budget contender but it seems the price was recently dropped to keep it competitive with the newer Landers. Definite W in my book. 👊🏻

Vosteed been doing great things this year. Excited for what's to come

[johncook]

Glad to see the Serene getting the recognition it deserves!!

“They will be in stock until they are out of stock, then they will be out of stock until they are RE-stocked…”
Came for the knives, stayed for MC’s insightful commentary 😂

I’ve got 3 on this list, the pyrite light, top liner lock racoon, and a qsp penguin. Oddly enough, while all three are great, I find myself gravitating more and more towards the pyrite light each day when I pick a knife to carry. It’s such an awesome knife for $30!

8.2 on the slam….
Dude Ozark Trail came out with a D2 crossbar lock knife on bearings. The D2 sharpens like well heat treated D2 and it’s $9….bananas, great glove box banger

[GrandmasterBBC]

That is a fine list. Among those the Racoon is impossible to argue. I have the crossbar lock version in micarta and it is one of my absolute favorite knives.
That new Pyrite at $30 surprised the hell out of me as well.
And I'm certainly going to be adding some new Miguron knives to my collection. I have the Talism which I love but I didn't realize what other great budget offerings they have.

[byronkennedy]

Great list ... was surprised you like the Raccoon this much as far as the top liner button lock. Thanks, MC

[Shrabsters]

I'm more excited by budget knives these days than high end stuff. I enjoy testing how well made sub $50 knives are and seeing how companies try to make their models stand out since there's so many options. Where as you expect an expensive knife to be well done and they tend to be more catered to specific tastes vs. practical and simple designs budget knives have. I think the best value I have found was the Tangram Santa Fe which I got off of Amazon for $22 or something back in the day.

[Mikey_Trailz]

Budget list no Kizer? The Cormorant is $69 in Nitro V and the Amicus is $39 also in Nitro V! Although they may not be goats I guess. Great video.

[richardvirchow]

I bought the Pyrite light and love it, carrying it everyday since I got it. I’ve got several of the knives you showed on your list. I just recently took delivery on a Tenacious because my Spyderco collection wouldn’t be complete without their iconic knife. Great video!

[BigTuba]

I’m with you on the Elementum. I got serious into knife collecting (folders, I already had fixies for camping/etc) about 3 years ago, and the Elementum was my first purchase. Loved it then, but even though it’s a good knife and it was a “gateway drug” for me, it doesn’t get much pocket time just because it’s not as interesting as a *lot* of other knives. Yet when Civivi released the special anniversary edition I bought it purely for sentimental reasons, and the Elementum is the only model I have two of. Go figure.

[JeremiahSouthard-ytyv]

Are the blades under 3 inches because in mu state you can only carry one with a blade under 3 inches

[carmeng]

If you are serious about dollar to value ratio you HAVE to be Miguron heavy on your list. Don't apologize. Great list.

[matthewhebbert]

I have weak spot for the Boker Kalashnikov. I have a ton of them. I got the one in CTS-XHP years ago, and it's been one of my most used EDCs. The action is still perfectly snappy, and it's easy to sharpen and maintain, which I don't even have to do super often because it stays sharp for quite a while. The color on the aluminum scales has definitely seen better days, but it gives it character and makes me like it even more.

[DeerUNIT]

It's crazy when I started getting more serious into knives 3 to 4 years ago your list really inspired me. And the only ones on this list that were on the list then are the penguin and elementum

[Capin]

Okay okay I’ll check out a Miguron next😆
