I’ve been looking for another edc knife just because… I don’t wanna spend a ton of $ at the moment and I’m verry picky… been looking around and I came across the kershaw thermite for about $40.00. What els heve ull came across or like or think is the best for under $75.00 for an edc knife?
Strider clones at Aliexpress…one of the places you can find good-quality knives cheap. A lot of the Strider and Microtech clones are decent quality and good for EDC, and they don’t cost a small fortune…
I like Cold Steel personally. The Code 4 series run around $60.

CRKT Razel I picked up one of these in 2010 and have used the hell out of it. I plad about $40 for it back then, but its an awesome knife. Pretty good at prying open oysters too 😉 The liner lock in it is thicker than most knives and it has a “lawks” safety feature to keep the blade from accidently closing. They are discontinued by crkt, so it would be worth picking one up if you use your knife as a tool rather than an expensive box opener.
them clones looking good, I’d hate for someone to call me out on it though…lol… but wth the thermite is basically a clone its self…Kato wrote:

Story of my life
Spyderco Manix 2!
I picked up a Columbia River Knife and Tool M16-01KZ 3-Inch Zytel Folding Knife with Autolawk and Spear Point Razor Edge Blade, Black a few years ago. They are like $28 dollars on Amazon. I got mine from lighthound.com they carry a lot of guy stuff.
CRKT m16 user here, comes in various sizes, styles, blade shapes, overall still enjoying mine.
I like the knives a lot. Unfortunately my doctor said I was not allowed to play with sharp objects.

I think you and Dan have that in common.
I got a Spiderco Native from Walmart for less than $30 years ago (If I remember right it was only $18) it was my first of many Spiderco knifes. Even today this Spiderco Native is my favorite knife. I see it is now $60.
I just got a Kershaw skyline and a Kershaw cryo II. Both great knives
the skyline runs around 50 online and is US made. It’s very very nice
the Cryo II is a beast. Nice assisted opening great quality for China made.. that one runs around 35 online
Spyderco endura all day for that price, or spyderco tenacious great value for cheap.
