Top 5 American Made Knives

My Osborne hasn’t left my pocket since the day I bought it it’s awesome.

[deejay]

All beautiful tools, but shame only one is under $200.

I'd still choose the Benchmade Griptilian over the 940. That satisfying SWACK sound when you open it.

Para 2 is a useful and also fun knife.

Microtech is beautiful, even from the video you can see how much nicer it is than the clones. And it’s only about 8 times the price!

I still have my Syderco Police model I carried every day for over 20 years. Great knife also..

PM2 stays with me at all times and I rotate other knives. Most people I know carry gas station knives. When we pocket check they have no clue what I'm carrying but somehow the shape of a Spyderco automatically gets praise. Sebenza goes way over people's heads, especially the price. Automatics like the godson are crowd pleasers!

Spyderco para 2 super fan for life! Best pocket knife ever made.

I have the Paramilitary 2 and it is an absolute beast of a blade. Use it for everything from slicing and breaking down packages to neat cutting work

[sfstone]

the protech godson looks so nice its not to pricey and (i wouldn't know because i dont own any protechs) most people say the actions on protechs are great plus i really like the minimalistic modernized stiletto design on it

Kershaw is my number 1 edc. You can get some very amazing products for under 50 dollars. They may be laughed at for not being one of the "high end" names but their blades definitely hold upto anything. They also have a major advantage. If you lose your knife or ruin it by cutting something you shouldn't have it's fine.

Idk how to explain it but Kershaw is absolutely the best bang for your buck. Even if they were twice the price this would be true. Right now you can go to your local Walmart and buy a nice sized assisted open for like 30 dollars. That blade will last you a very long time.

Fun fact the Chris Reeves Sebenza knife is made here in Idaho, but hooooly cow are they absolutely elusive to get your hands on. I would love to get one

[alnabulsi]

Challenge: show us five decent US-made knives under a hundred bucks.

[unknown_-edrs]

You should check out fearless knives. They make switchblades with a cast shell not cnc so it's a lot cheaper, I've had one for a couple years now and all I've had to do is sharpen it because I whittled with it and cut a lot of cardboard with it and retighten a screw (which was my own fault).

PM2 is one of the best knives I have ever owned

[reedjohnson]

I have the benchmade 940 and the spiderco para2 and can without a doubt say the spyderco is the better everyday carry. Now the 940 is a great knife don’t get me wrong it’s probably better for someone that is a bit harder on knives. The tonto blade is great for heavy duty prying and is an all around rugged knife, however the spyderco is easier for your everyday guy to keep sharp and clean. You can’t go wrong with either truly but after carrying both for a year the spyderco is my go to. Cheers

I finally bought a couple of CRK’s thinking I won’t feel like buying more folding knives. Damn. I was wrong again😂

[dexxfilm]

Paramilitary 2 is hands down the greatest hard use knife I have ever owned.

[happyhippo]

Good list but they are all pretty pricey. Maybe divide the list into 3 or 4 categories depending on price.

I've had a 942 since the year they launched. Fantastic EDC. Slim enough to carry easily, but has enough blade to be useful in a variety of situations. I just want this configuration in a better steel. 154CM is good, but it has definitely been surpassed. I have yet to see the black aluminum handle scales paired with a partially serrated, uncoated blade since the 942 model was taken off the shelves. I don't think you can even get that combo in the Customize area on Benchmade's site, unless I missed something.
