Mushroom hunter here. The vast majority of the mushroom lives as a network of mycelium under the ground. Pulling a mushroom up as opposed to cutting it will have no effect on whether or not there will be more next year.

Edit: Having said that, it is considered to be better form to cut the mushroom at the base. Cutting it won’t disturb the ground as much and will keep your haul a lot cleaner. It is also advisable to get a mushroom knife with a brush to “field clean” your mushrooms before you put them in your basket.

Full disclosure: A bit of color matching was done on this photo. The watch is a cheapo I got to test drive the whole wood watch thing with plans to upgrade if I dig the look. I do not. I used to have a silver Sig P238 with rosewood grips that would have been sexy here, but I didn't dig that either. I do dig the Benchmade a great deal. The surefire is ok.

the 940-2 is the model that you have, with the s30v stainless, g10 scales, and green spacers. theres also the 940-1 which has s90v stainless, carbon fiber scales, and blue back spacers. as well as the classic straight up 940 which has s30v stainless and aluminum scales.

theres also the 940-1601 , the 940-1701 .. many variants of the 940 design available. same knife, different materials.

i have the same one you do, the 940-2, and i think its awesome. easily my favorite folder

u/ANAL_PLUNDERING · 11 pointsr/knives

No problem.

Kershaw Scallion (Small, assisted opening, steel is not so great)

Kershaw Skyline (good size, G10, nice blade shape, steel can get to a crazy level of sharpness)

Kershaw OSO Sweet (pretty cool assisted opener, great price there on amazon)

Spyderco Tenacious (same decent steel on the OSO Sweet and Byrd, good G10, good blade shape, Spyderco quality, great value)

Byrd Cara2 (Great value, overseas production brings prices way down on all Byrd knives)


Here is one above your price range

And one below your price range

u/HilariousMax · 10 pointsr/knives
  • ~$7-8 Sanrenmu 7010/710 - You can find these at Gearbest for cheap as hell when they have sales but they're absolutely $30 worth of knife
  • ~$10-20 Opinel no.6-12 - Depends on blade size/steel/handle wood. #6 is under 3in blade if that kind of thing matters.
  • ~$20 CRKT Drifter
  • ~$20 Spyderco Byrd Cara Cara2
  • ~$20-25 Ontario Rat II or Rat I
  • ~$30 Victorinox Cadet Alox
  • ~$30 Kershaw Cryo
  • ~$35 CRKT Ripple
  • ~$35 Spyderco Persistence
  • ~$40 Kershaw Skyline - Often on sale in the ~$30 range
  • ~$40 Kershaw Leek - Same sales as with the Skyline \^^

    Honorable Mention: Case knives. Traditional lockbacks. Hard as nails and pretty to boot. True pocket knives. Your grandfather (possibly great grandfather) had one. Good stuff the lot of them. $25-50 will get you a legacy knife that you can carry and use and then pass to your kid.

    You don't need to spend $200 to get a quality, durable, reliable knife. I've owned all of these knives at one time or another and loved every one of them. Sure they needed sharpening more often and sometimes something a little more drastic (Sanrenmus are often cheaper to replace than fix) but the value is insane. Plus, lets face facts; we're much more likely to break out our Cadet when we get box duty than our Sebenza.

    Knife enthusiasts (brothers) if there's a weighed and measured cheapo that I forgot, let me know.

I know that Chicago has some of the strictest knife laws in the country, so there's that. It's nothing that's /absolutely/ unique, but it's something. Spyderco, the company that made the knife I gave you before you left, makes a folder specifically for Chicagoans, aptly named the Chicago. link

u/skipsmagee · 8 pointsr/knives

Opinel makes a mushroom knife with a brush: Amazon $30

u/mydickinabox · 8 pointsr/EDC

Doesn't seem to be a good deal. You can find the knives at that price elsewhere. For example, https://www.amazon.com/SPYDERCO-C81GPDBL2-Paramilitary-Handle-Point/dp/B0144QJ8YO is cheaper than buying it through spiderco's site with the 40% off code.

u/[deleted] · 7 pointsr/oddlysatisfying

Hey, I would own one if I had a wad of cash to throw at a knife I'll never use.

I recently picked up a Benchmade 940-1. You should look into that one if you dig high-quality knives that you can actually use on a daily basis. Love that knife. Carbon fiber and S90V steel.

u/ARKnife · 7 pointsr/knives

For these requirements I'd recommend the Benchmade 940/Spyderco Paramilitary 2 with 110V (Blurple).

Both are great knives, well within the budget and will serve you for years to come.

Good luck!

u/ars2458 · 6 pointsr/Ultralight

I actually really like the balance of lightening up my pack without sacrificing comfort. To me, that is the key to convincing others to lighten their packs.

That being said, the small things I see would be:

  1. Why bring an iphone and ipod and speakers? Don't iphones and ipods have decent speakers? Especially for auidobook quality and not music. I bring an android phone backpacking, and if I leave it on airplane mode I can get through a few days without running out of battery, and I would imagine an extended battery (or solar charger) would weigh less then a speaker and an extra ipod. Also on the phone.. I don't know if this is possible on iphone.. but you can get a sleep timer app and have it shut off your phone after an hour so you save battery while you are sleeping.

  2. I saw the suggestion earlier this week of getting a portable bidet instead of wet wipes and toilet paper. I would assume that would only be an option if you had good water source availability.

  3. I generally wouldn't bring two sources of light. Since this is a comfort pack I would say to bring your favorite light and bring an emergency backup that is UL. I know petzl makes an "emergency" headlamp, or you could get an LED light that clips to your hat.

  4. I imagine that the Morkniv knife is a bit on the heavy side in comparison to some fold up knives.
    Gerber Knife
    This gerber is a good, lightweight, cheap knife. I've had this one for almost ten years with no issues. This would shave an ounce or two.

  5. Many people will echo this, but a quilt will be considerably lighter than the sleeping bag listed. That one is ~3 lbs, the Enlightened Equipment Revelation @ 20 degrees would come in at 19 ounces. That Teton bag looks like a great bargain, but if you have some extra money to burn and want to lighten your load further without compromising comfort, this would be a significant upgrade.

  6. This is not so much a weight suggestion as a general safety suggestion. With some orienteering skill, a compass, and a good topo map you can drop those backup batteries for your GPS and be protected against dead batteries or a malfunctioning of your GPS. Also, extra batteries for your flashlight seems a little redundant if you have an extra light source as well.

  7. One final suggestion: I didn't see any footwear listed above, but if you have clunky waterproof boots, you should consider getting a pair of lightweight trail runners. There have been many posts on this sub about the pros and cons, but that has been the single best change I have made to my gear in the last few years. If you are worried about ankle problems, I have read suggestions about getting lightweight ankle braces to supplement.

    Honestly your kit looks like a great balance of weight, comfort, and price. You could change nothing and be happy with what you have for a long time. The suggestions I made above are just if you have some extra dough and a desire to go a bit lighter.

u/Connguy · 6 pointsr/knifeclub

I don't know what you wanted to do with this blade, but I can almost guarantee you there are far superior pieces for less money (in the $25-30). Gerber doesn't even tell you what steel the blade uses, they call it "High Carbon Stainless". This means it's probably a very cheap Chinese steel. But in this price range you won't find much better, so that's not a huge issue. The big problem with this knife is handle. It's cheap plastic like is used in all mass-produced Chinese crap, with a cheap rubber coating intended for improved grip. If you put any sort of strain on this handle (like a survival knife is supposed to get), it's going to crap out on you. This guy on blade forums broke his in the initial round of testing.

Maybe you should consider an SOG blade or a Kershaw Funxion if you're looking for a partially serrated, more tool-like knife. On the other hand, if all you want is a folder knife, there are literally hundreds of better options all over this sub for less cost. I love my Kershaw Scrambler

u/king_human · 5 pointsr/knifeclub

Hi! And welcome!

I like the Gayle Bradley 2 in M4, and the BM Valet in M390, but they are both very expensive to start out with. The Shuffle II is kind of crappy - I'd definitely pass on that one. I have no experience with
the Bartender Defeder, but even the XL version looks too small, as is the Rodie. The Delica and Leek are great knives, and would likely be solid options (their ergonomics are better than their handle lengths suggest, especially the Delica). The CRKT M16 is ok, but it's not great (in my opinion). I've never handled CRKT's Endorser, but it looks like a solid choice.

My best suggestion is a RAT 1 in D2. It's 40 bucks and you get a very well-made knife in D2 (semi stain resistant and will hold an edge for a good long time). The AUS-8 version is good, too, but if you're cutting boxes, the D2 option will stay sharp way longer.

As for some other options, here are some good ones from CRKT:

Foresight - It's big and comfy in-hand, but it's expensive for the materials used (aluminum and AUS-8)

Shenanigan - lighter and cheaper than the Foresight, but with the same blade material (AUS-8)

Outrage - aluminum handle and 8Cr13MoV steel (similar to AUS-8, id est, reasonably stainless, decent toughness, ok-ish edge retention), ball bearing pivot (nice and smooth!)

Ripple - aluminum handle, 8Cr13MoV blade, ball bearing pivot

With these suggestions, it may seem like I'm a shill for CRKT, but I'm not. I'm just a fan of Ken Onion's designs and ergonomics. I also like:

Spyderco Endura - very good stainless steel in a lightweight package, with plenty of handle real estate

Byrd Cara Cara 2 - Spyderco's value brand (basically a cheap Endura with 8Cr13MoV steel instead of the excellent blade steel VG-10)

Spyderco Resilience - big and comfy (G-10 scales with 8Cr13Mov steel), and my daily carry at work

Spyderco Manix 2 - light and medium sized (they also make an XL version), with BD-1 (kinda similar to AUS-8, kinda)

Cold Steel Recon 1 Spear Point - a big knife with lots of grippy G-10 handle space. The CTS XHP steel is the bee's knees, and the Recon 1 is an excellent value, but it may be too expensive as a starting point.

Also, I'm sure some other folks will chime in, too. The guys & gals of /r/knifeclub are pretty knowledgeable and helpful.

Again, my number 1 suggestion is the RAT 1 in D2. It'll be hard to beat interms of construction, ergonomics, and utility.

Happy hunting!

A little bit of field trimming goes a long way to avoid the dirt getting everywhere.

u/BunnyKnuckles · 5 pointsr/knives

What's five dollars over budget for something so sexy?

Or if you're looking for a more classic gentleman's knife with bolster and wood who doesn't love a boker?

For the gentleman on a budget.

May I present The Texas Toothpick.

For if the gentleman is in a black and white or stabby mood.

u/greath · 4 pointsr/knifeclub

Lol, alright for example:

  • Spyderco Delica 4 FFG: For your price range this is going to be the "best" steel you can get in a near 3" folding knife (VG-10). By best I mean the best edge retention in a stainless steel. However, being over 2.5" in some places (Chacago for example) the knife will be illegal. Also, many people do not like the look of the spyderhole as it can be seen as aggressive in office environments. Also the FRN handles, while very strong, have a cheap/plastic feel to them.

  • Spyderco Tenacious: Compared to the Delica, 8CR13MOV is a "worse" stainless steel (not as good edge retention, more prone to chipping during heavy impacts). However, the extra blade length is better for many outdoor tasks (breaking down tree branches). The handle is also G10, which is slightly tougher and has a much better feeling in hand than FRN.

  • Spyderco Centofante 3: A more "gentlemanly" and "office friendly" version of the Delica with a slightly longer blade. Again, VG-10 and FRN.

  • Kershaw Cryo II: Same steel as the tenacious. Metal handles slightly tougher than G10. Flipper action has "cool" factor. The blade grind makes the tip a touch stronger than on the tenacious.

  • Kershaw Skyline: One of the most iconic of Kershaw's knives. Hollow ground blade makes it great at slicing tasks.

  • Esee Izula: Skeletonized fixed blade. 1095 Steel is significantly better than the other steels listed at "chopping" tasks as it is not prone to chipping at all. It is NOT stainless and so the blade has a protective coating over most of it. The steel will require mineral oil/cleaning to prevent rusting.

  • Becker BK 24: Similar to the Esee Izula but D2 steel which has better edge retention and more corrosion resistance than 1095. It is also much harder to sharpen. Many think the BK24's handle is also less comfortable, the sheath is worse, and there are less available after market modifications.

  • Ontario Rat Series (linked the RAT I. RAT 2 similar but smaller): Ontario's version of the tenacious. Bladeshape generally more people friendly. Another very popular beater option.

  • Morakniv Knives (there are MANY, this is just one): Highly regarded in the "bushcraft" community. High carbon steel (similar to 1095) with a scandi-grind which is great for field sharpening and woodworking. Only partial tangs so not advised to use for battoning tasks or chopping.

  • Kershaw OD-2: Gentlemanly knife with great flipping action.

    There are a LOT more suggestions I could add...
u/TheLonelyLumen · 4 pointsr/BuyItForLife

A good knife that you can own the rest of your life that has a great warranty. Ahh..$50 is only the tip of the iceberg..

Benchmade, Spyderco, Zero Tolerance, and Kershaw all make beautiful knives.. many within your price range. Don't feel foolish wanting a solid knife that costs money because if you venture into r/knifeclub you will see how deep the hole gets for knives.

Give me a minute and I will link you a spreadsheet with some useful information but in the meantime I will leave you with something beautiful to drool at..

Benchmade Knife 15080-2 Crooked River Folding Hunter Wood Handle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BUWW4WS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_UZhFxbYS3ST5A

That knife is next on my list to buy.. it is absolutely gorgeous and Benchmade makes wonderful knives..as far as budget picks go the Griptilian is great and for the higher end I love my 940-1! I know fixed blades have your attention so give me a few to dig some info up.

Edit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tHR4CwvcV5Cv2ccSdregECd8KYKwI3M3UATcS6_6eAM/edit#gid=2091557547

If you still want a Buck then go for it because they hold a special place in many enthusiasts hearts as they were one of the originals that helped shape the knife market into what it is today.

u/PhenomenalDouche · 4 pointsr/knifeclub

Some suggestions:

ZT 0770cf ($131 on Amazon) - thin and light, my favorite ZT for actual carry


Spyderco Sage 2 ($148 on Amazon) - great fit and finish, full ti frame lock with great ergos if you're into finger choils


Benchmade 710 ($153 on Amazon) one of my all time favorite Benchmade knives, a big knife with an axis lock that carries very well for its size

Spyderco Caly 3.5 CF/ZDP-189 ($153 on Amazon) - one of the better-carrying large Spyderco knives I've used


Spyderco Gayle Bradley CF - big hunk of CPM-M4, and a great choice if you don't mind the size and weight of the thing

u/Jim_E_Hat · 4 pointsr/BudgetBlades
u/infinity526 · 4 pointsr/Knife_Swap

You're asking $110 trade value for a knife that's $97 new, just so you know.

u/nreyes238 · 4 pointsr/EDC

You should check /r/knifeclub and maybe /r/knives too.

But if you're just looking for a quick recommendation, if it was my $60, I would get a Spyderco Centofante 3 or a Byrd Raven 2

u/konzy27 · 4 pointsr/knifeclub

The Spyderco Chaparral is only .338" thick.

u/HammerHill · 4 pointsr/knifeclub

Unfortunately there just aren't a lot of great, smallish, narrow knives that can really take abuse. Back locks are stronger than liner locks so I'd point you in that direction - check out the waved Spyderco Delica. The Delica is a classic design and the waved version has a couple advantages you might appreciate: great steel that isn't a bear to sharpen, great ergonomics, and blade geometry that can take a beating. Oh and the wave is pretty cool and sometimes practical, too.

It miiight be one of the ugliest knives ever made but when I want an easy to carry, capable, and comfortable blade I always grab mine.

EDIT: just realized you said you wanted a partially serrated knife in which case check out the foliage green version, which happens to be a little cheaper, too.

u/theg33k · 4 pointsr/Ultralight

What's your budget?

  1. Granite Gear Virga 2 (Long) -- That maintains your 58 liter capacity while dropping 33oz for $140 @ $4.24/oz
  2. Princeton Tec Byte -- Saves you over 1.8oz for $18 @ $10/oz. That weight is with 2 AAA batteries which gets you over 90 hours of burn time.
  3. What do you actually use on the Leatherman? I only ever use a knife or maybe scissors. If you just need a light knife, I like these two. For the weight of that leatherman you could carry a decent fixed blade.
  4. Lose the dry bags and trade them in for standard kitchen trash bags. Even with "heavy duty" trash bags you'll gain about .5-1.0oz per bag
  5. What's the "towel" for? I keep some towel/rag type things around for general cleaning, wiping off my tent/gear when it's went from rain/condensation, etc. For this I go to the cleaning aisle of my grocery store and find the cheapest thinnest dish rags. The ones I use are very thin, you can practically see right through them. I cut them in half because they're huge. Each one is 6g. It's more than enough absorbancy for basic camp work.
  6. You're already using one Smartwater bottle, why not drop the Nalgene and use two "disposable" water bottles?
u/RationalArgumentMan · 4 pointsr/knives

Just curious, what is the advantage to having the blade angled like that? Comfort, or more than that?

Also, I just pulled the trigger and bought the Spyderco Sage Titanium and I'd like to know what /r/knives thinks of it. I've tried to do as much research as I could, and the Sage seems to be a good choice. Can't wait to get it next week!

u/SirRipo · 4 pointsr/EDC

For the record, I feel the same that the Cryo is too slippery - which is why I'm super glad Kershaw released a G10 version of it last year.

I also agree that the Tenacious is just a bit too big for EDC - and they do make the Persistence, which is a shrunken version of the Tenacious, with a 2.75 inch blade vs the Tenacious' 3-3/8 inch blade. If you wanna go even smaller, the Ambitious has a 2.25" blade. All 3 knives share a similar design (though the Ambitious is small enough that the proportions might look a little weird to some).

A few other knives of note that are standouts in the sub-$50 price range:

  • CRKT Ripple - Ken Onion design with a more-traditional drop point blade, IKBS, 8Cr14MoV. Usually on most people's "Under $50" list.

  • Kershaw Leek - Again, a little slippery and still Speedsafe but a slightly weaker torsion bar so not as forceful. Some people have issues with broken tips since they're a little thin, but this thing was the best under $50 when it came out.

  • Ontario RAT 1 - At $25 this thing is a pretty great package, if not a little big. 3.5" blade, but it's AUS-8 if you don't like the 8Cr China steels (even if they are pretty similar).

  • SOG Flash II - again, a 3.5 inch, AUS-8 blade. Assisted opening, but much less forceful than Speedsafe.

  • The Kershaw Emerson CQC-6K has blown up since it's release and a lot of high speed low drag tactical types love it for EDC use. $25 makes it a pretty appealing choice and rock solid under $30.

  • The Spyderco Delica 4 is just a touch over $50, averaging about $60, but it's also a go-to knife in the $50 for many people. VG-10 steel on this one is a big selling point.

  • On the same hand, the Kershaw Blur is usually available for about $60, and for those looking for a big folder (seriously this thing is large) it's a great choice. Sandvik 14C28N as standard steel, also available with S30V for about $75.

    A few notes here

  • You'll see a lot of sub $50 knives using 8Cr13MoV or 8Cr14MoV. The main difference is a little more Chromium in the 8Cr14MoV, leading to a little more corrosion resistance. A lot of people loved the Skyline, but there were a few issues with minor rust spots on the knives, leading to many companies switching to 8Cr14MoV for some of their knives (most of the budget Kershaws are 8Cr14MoV now).

  • Kershaw has many many options for budget folders under $50, for all kinds of aesthetic tastes. The Chill, Thermite, Link, Oso Sweet, etc. I've owned a handful of Kershaws, and loved all of them, especially for the price.

  • The 8Cr steels (13MoV and 14MoV) are pretty much on par with AUS-8, especially from CRKT, Spyderco, and Kershaw who all do a good job on their heat treats. There's a slight difference in hardness (3 to 4 HRC difference by most counts), but really they're nearly identical for all intents and purposes, mainly sharpening and edge retention. Some people just prefer AUS-8 because they don't like so called "China steel."


    ETA a few more links and some clarification of my still-awake-at-5am rambling.
u/qweltor · 3 pointsr/guns

> So I lost a $250+ Benchmade Osborne carbon fiber knife in the lake about 1 month after I got it.

Sorry. I got nothing for you. Except for a Amazon link; save up your change. ;p

ETA: Storytime: Redditor loses rifle in pond in tragic boating accident. With help of a magnet, perseverance and luck finds his rifle.

Moral of the story: The handle is carbon-fiber and non-magnetic. The liners and blade are steel, and will stick to a magnet.

u/edheler · 3 pointsr/preppers

Spyderco Endura 4 or a Spyderco Para-Military 2. The second link is from Spyderco directly and you can find it for a little lower prices elsewhere. Amazon doesn't sell it directly though so I didn't link it there. I carry a Spyderco Delica 4 with a combo edge because I don't need the extra length on a daily basis.

u/TwoStepsFromThursday · 3 pointsr/knives

Any Option from Benchmade is a great choice. Solid knives with a fantastic warranty.

If you want to avoid plastic, try the Crooked River series Beautiful knives, great steel, etc. They just released the mini version as well, so if the one linked above is too big, try the mini as well. Another small option is the North Fork

The other option I'd recommend considering is the Spyderco Para Military 2 It's one of THE classic folders of our time, and can be had in pretty much every high-quality steel; the SV110 model I linked is absolutely top of the line. It will hold an edge for an incredibly long time. I prefer some of the other steels such as S30V due to them being slightly easier to sharpen, but they'll all hold up well.

u/climber514d · 3 pointsr/backpacking

I camp in the Sierra - and carry this at 0.6oz. Gets the job done just fine...http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-06050-Ultra-light-Folding/dp/B00004WA4R

Uzi tactical is the best deal with all those features. This SOG is good for the price too.

The [Benchmade Northfork] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9HJD3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_CLBmzbH0N2X3Z) is awful pretty. I'm a big fan of the axis lock.

u/scubaman94 · 3 pointsr/ProtectAndServe

I use this at work. It's cheap enough where I won't be too disappointed if I lose it but it's sturdy and has my favorite features. Here is the same version but a different blade coloring and treatment, it's a bit cheaper. I like the black bladed one personally.

u/MindlessSir · 3 pointsr/CampingGear

There's no such thing as a hiking knife.

Personally I carry this.

Whatever hardshell pants work, I use these. Wear a wool base layer underneath. Wool socks, wool baselayer shirt, wool softshell jacket. Maybe a wool hoodie, some kinda gloves.

No cotton anything. No cotton socks. No cotton t-shirts. No cotton underwear.

As far as backpacks go... what do you carry/how much stuff?

u/tunabomber · 3 pointsr/EDC

What about cost? I love THIS knife. Its super cheap but honestly my favorite EDC blade ever all things considered. It's traditional looking I suppose.

u/BabiesSmell · 3 pointsr/knifeclub

Just a heads up that this knife has plummeted almost $20 in price since I picked it out last week. Might be a good time to buy if you're interested. I'm going to have to call in for a refund on the difference!

u/xtremepado · 3 pointsr/knives

A more cost-effective one that you might like is the Spyderco Endura 4. It has the same steel, size, and form factor as the Police and would probably suit you just as well.

u/solsangraal · 3 pointsr/knifeclub

everyone seems to rave about the griptillian and the 940 from benchmade. also includes their lifesharp service, which is pretty awesome

i have a decent number of knives, but the one i use the most by far is the delica 4 wave-- best $60 i ever spent.

in the end i'd say you could definitely spend a lot less than $200 for a great knife, just depends on your taste

u/The_Squiv · 3 pointsr/knives

I bought mine in Florida where it was legal to sell and carry. It was one of my favorites and a pretty frequent EDC for me. Then, recently I moved to Portland, OR, where they're not so legal. I had to replace my favorite EDC, but I'm pretty happy with my new quick deployment knife, the Spyderco Delica 4 with Emerson Wave opening.

The second page of the document has a form that you copy and paste into a self post on r/knives and you just answer as many questions as you can. Don't be afraid to leave anything blank you are unsure of.

For general all purpose EDCs my favorite right now are the Kershaw assisted openers made with the Sandvik steel. Disregard those MSRPs they are all close to double what they would cost on Amazon.

I carry a heavily modified Needs Work from Kershaw. But judging by the knife you posted you might like a Black Shallot. The Kershaw Leek is probably their most popular knife and I've met a coupld of different people who have been EDCing the same Leek for many many years.

Even if you like my suggestions you should still make a post asking for help with the r/knives guidelines. You might find something you like better.

http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-Shallot-Tungsten-coating-Handle/dp/B001H9BS2M

Has anyone made a blade out of tungsten carbide? Is it too brittle for that use?

u/Knife_Guide · 3 pointsr/knives

The Chaparral sounds perfect for you.

2.5 oz 2.8 inch plain edge S30V. Very gentlemanly look and deep carry pocket clip (disappears in dark slacks) and it costs around $100 on amazon

u/EisenRegen · 3 pointsr/knives

he tells you in the vid.... spyderco delica 4 emerson

u/Syncharmony · 3 pointsr/knives

Yup! The Chaparral is what you are looking for.

It also comes in titanium scales

Here's a comparison picture with a sage 1 on top and the chaparral on the bottom.

Chap is about 3.62" closed vs the Sage which is 4.18". Blade length is only a .2" difference though which is nice. It's a back lock vs the liner lock of the Sage. I understand it's a very nice knife and the carbon fiber scales are practically identical between it and the Sage.

Yup. I got one of these knives almost a year ago and has become part of my every day carry items.

u/T_Riley · 2 pointsr/knives

My personal favorite folder, that I carry with me everyday is the Spyderco Native. It has the same blade length as the Chill, but it's a little fatter. Absolutely love this knife. It fits perfectly in my hand and has never felt small. A great choice for a folding knife in my opinion.

u/OoogaOoogaYoink · 2 pointsr/knives

I'll give you some options here instead of just one choice.

This CRKT is a wonderful tool.

If you'd like another Spyderco you can't go wrong with a Dragonfly or a Centofante III.

If you've never got a Kershaw they're killer knives for the price. The Leek is a great introduction.

Or, you could buy 2 knives with your fifty. Ontario's RAT I and RAT II are some sweet knives.

Depending on your taste. You simply cannot go wrong with any of these knives.

u/toucher_of_sheepv2 · 2 pointsr/knives

For $42 you can get the Spyderco Chicago which was designed for Chicago's very strict knife laws.

u/TOUCHER_OF_SHEEP · 2 pointsr/knives

SRM 710 is officially seconded. For a bit more money (link is $100), MCusta makes some nice looking knives. That's VG-10 and a beauty, my friend. The Kershaw Leek could work as well. The CRKT Drifter is very similar to the SRM 710, but a bit faster and easier to obtain. Higo no Kami knives are potentially pretentious, but beautiful. My final recommendation, the Spyderco Centofante 3 is a great choice for slightly over $50 ($52 on Amazon, right now) and also uses VG-10 but for less, though the Spyderhole isn't appealing to everyone.

For more expensive options (I have multiple on my Amazon wishlist alone), just ask, though since they all break your price limit and I've already done that twice I'll wait for further questioning first.

u/-Doomer- · 2 pointsr/knifeclub

Of the two you mentioned I would get the Ganzo. I love the Axis lock, its the most fun lock type to play with IMO. I carry a Ganzo G727 quite often and it has been holding up great. Its a good size for a big EDC beater, and the blade does most cutting tasks well. It is a copy of a knife that is very popular for a reason.

The Cryo 1 is a much smaller knife than the Ganzo, they have a larger model 2 that is more similar to the G727. Just be aware of the sizes and what you want to do with your knife. The Cryo is damn good knife I will not fault it for anything other than in my hands it needs a pointer finger choil. That is purely a preference thing though. If you want a sub $20 Kershaw I very much like my Kershaw Freefall. It's lightish, full size, deep carry and has great ergo's. Another option is the Volt SS again with great ergo's and is very thin in the pocket.

If you want a great flipper look for something that runs on ball bearings. CRKT makes some amazing ones for $30~40. The Teigh Tac Two Tanto, Outrage, and Ripple 1 and 2 all fit the bill. The Outrage is a very strong feeling knife, but the tip is very thin, and the other two are not overbuilt but solid so make great EDC knives, but are not the beaters a Rat or Ganzo might be.

u/never4getf150forums · 2 pointsr/PKA

You won't regret it, but honestly. I would've gone for this version instead..

http://www.amazon.com/Columbia-River-Knife-Tool-K415KXP/dp/B0030IT794/ref=sr_1_1?srs=3548657011&ie=UTF8&qid=1464407607&sr=8-1&keywords=415kxp

it's slightly bigger, but the same exact model. And easier to hold and better overall :)


if you want you can cancel it and purchase it, up to you however.

u/Jaloobio · 2 pointsr/knives

EDIT: Wow, I'm an idiot... 410 was the steel used in the handle of the knife. My bad. The steel used in the blade is actually 14C28N. ...How hard is this compared to 4043 or 1075?

And yeah, Kershaw is actually the brand I'm looking at right now.

u/data_wrangler · 2 pointsr/Ultralight

They make the Izula in 440C stainless -- not sure about the Candiru.

If rust is a worry, I'm a big fan of Spyderco's H-1 steel. My dive knife (the Caspian2, sadly now discontinued) can take days in and out of the ocean without much care to rinsing and still show no signs of tarnish. I've also got an Atlantic Salt with a serrated edge that I bring climbing -- the serrations make it lame for general duty, but it makes short work of rope & nylon, which is first priority. They make a Dragonfly out of it, too.

...I admit it's possible that my occasional overspending on knives has nothing to do with ultralight or backpacking.

u/TheStuffle · 2 pointsr/knifeclub

H1 Dragonfly 2. Never needs oil, sharpens from butter-knife dull to razor sharp in a few minutes, and can easily survive dozens of trips through a washing machine. The perfect 'wife knife'.

The VG10 version is good too (and can be found in pink!), but I would stay away from the ZDP189 or Super Blue just for maintenance reasons.

u/mrDxPhd · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

u/shootsfilmwithbullet · 2 pointsr/Ultralight

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say Amazon wasn't playing nice with you.

u/silverfirexz · 2 pointsr/knives

I would take a look at the Kershaw Crown or the Kershaw Crown II. I own the Crown and it is a classy, simple knife. It is also quite large and hefty, so the Crown II might be a good option. It is simple, elegant, inexpensive, and sturdy. They have micarta scales and just feel really good in my hand.

u/BewilderedAlbatross · 2 pointsr/knives
u/rem87062597 · 2 pointsr/Hunting

Benchmade North Fork Folder ($140). Sharpest knife I've ever owned and it just feels quality. It's the perfect size for hunting, not too big and not too small. The action is impossibly smooth and it keeps its edge. It's the perfect knife in my opinion. The handle is stabilized wood so it's as durable as it is pretty.

And it's really fucking pretty.

u/scarypriest · 2 pointsr/BuyItForLife

I carry Spyderco Dragonfly Salt I like the clip (reversible for south paw) it holds its edge, and I am a boater and the H-1 steel will not rust. Also, my city has a ridiculously small blade length law and this fits.

u/Philosocybin · 2 pointsr/shrooms

It's a knife with a brush attached to it for foraging wild mushrooms. This is a popular style: https://www.amazon.com/Opinel-Beechwood-Handle-Mushroom-Knife/dp/B000KIMSG6

u/RandyGraves · 2 pointsr/knives

I would second the Delica recommendation. Amazon has a Delica 4 ffg in Purple that would do nicely. The Dragonfly 2 in a very dark green frn and a yellow H1 salt frn would be great as well. Great gift idea man!

u/Taboggan · 2 pointsr/knifeclub

Well, the good news is, it's only around $60.

u/chuckthetruk · 2 pointsr/knives

I own a Sebenza, and it definitely falls into the BIFL category, but so do a lot of other less expensive knives. Think of weak points that could break. Benchmades are great (I have two and like them both) but those little omega springs that the lock depends on are pretty frail looking.

I would get a framelock folder with solid metallic scales (most likely titanium, given what's out there) that has a stainless steel blade that is fairly robust. The Bradley Alias fits that bill, and so does the Spyderco Sage 2 although it has a pretty small blade. The A.G. Russell Acies is also good, but it's getting up there in price again.

With all that being said, you don't necessary NEED a titanium framelock, there is just less stuff on them that can break (like, say G10 scales over stainless liners). There are lots of high quality knives available that are not titanium framelocks.

u/travatron81 · 2 pointsr/CampingandHiking

Like you, I don't like serrated blades.

For a folder, I love the Spyerdco Native. It's got great ergonomics, a very durable edge and is right or left handed, you can also flip it point up or point down. Just a bit over your $50, but it really will last you forever.

My favorite fixed blade daily use knives are made by Mora. Swedish company, and they make exceptional knives in your price range, they really should cost at least twice what they do. The Model 2010 is the most versatile, IMO.

What are you basing that on, your meticulous tracking of Amazon prices?

Some pretty big deltas there. It reached $99 a few months ago, almost exactly $40 less than the typical $138 MAP. Did their inventory turn into fakes that day? Who said this guy didn't buy it in a matter of minutes? You sure are backpedaling on your guarantee that they are all fakes at that price.

u/el_karacho · 1 pointr/Columbus

OH laws are very vague, they pretty much don't clearly define anything. I used to live in Boston where you can't carry guns and even things like pepper spray require a gun permit, but you can carry knives < 3.5" blade for personal protection, so I always had it with me. When I moved back here I asked around and what I posted was the most common response I got.

It mostly comes down to whether or not a knife is concealed and whether or not it's considered a CCW. This state supreme court decision sheds some light on the facts, and especially in sections 15-18 it shows the opinion of the state.

Basically, it's the state's job to prove that you were concealing a knife that 1) is deadly 2) is specifically designed as a weapon, and not as a tool, and 3) was being carried as a weapon and not as a tool.

There are definitely some knives out there that have absolutely no rational defense as a "tool". For instance, I have this Last Ditch knife which I don't think anyone could argue is particularly useful as a hunting/camping tool, nor a tool for cutting boxes/etc. I worked at a liquor store so I was always cutting boxes and never got hassled for carrying something similar to this Spyderco because that is much more reasonably defensible as a tool.

u/Silverlight42 · 1 pointr/knifeclub

Your CRKT is fine. If you want better steel and still a 4" folder, up your price and get something along the lines of

BM 940-1


It's got S90V steel, CF and it's a benchmade.
BM-710 is good too (it's what I use). D-2 steel but I think you can get it in a couple different steels.


Changing the steel isn't really going to help you cut those 2-3" branches much easier. You won't really notice.


If that's mostly what you want it for get some $15 pruning shears or something.


I know you said you didn't want a fixed blade but you should possibly reconsider if you only want to spend $100. You'd be able to get a kabar usmc or maybe a used ESEE-3.

u/gus_frings_tequila · 1 pointr/knives

spyderco endura. That knife was fairly tough and priced right.


The Zero Tolerance 300 is tougher but that's a couple of bills.

If you want really tough, the toughest knife I've used is the tom brown tracker. Pretty pricey though.

But since you want a forever knife consider buying once and crying once.

u/Dr_Stephen_Colbert · 1 pointr/knives

Spyderco has a wide range of folders under $100. There's the Delica, Endura, Dragonfly, Centofante 3, and Stretch to name a few. All high quality, made in the USA.

The Tenacious line (including the Persistence and Ambitious) is awesome if you want good quality for less than $40. However, if you want to spend more, I would definitely recommend US made knives.

u/ZombieKingKong · 1 pointr/knives
u/davkslim · 1 pointr/EDC

Yup, you can't really go wrong with the Tenacious. Alternatively, if you don't mind spending around $50, you should definitely look into the Spyderco Native. One of the best EDC blades out there and $50 for a S30V blade is just about the lowest I've seen for S30V on a knife.

u/Country_Runner · 1 pointr/EDC

Kershaw Crown. It's a decent knife and dirt cheap like $11 It's made of 8CR13MoV which is a stainless steel it has a high hardness and takes a nice edge. It shouldn't rust but it could but at $11 who cares? Thing is it's a Chinese knife but you'll find pretty much just good reviews about the knife.

u/mbrown29 · 1 pointr/gshock

u/SniperGX1 · 1 pointr/bayarea

Have you been turned down for concealed carry yet? Apply for a CCW first, that's your best tool for self defense. Law of the land in CA is shall issue (Puerta v Gore) but many areas are refusing to follow the law until appeals are heard, but it's worth a try.

Either way it sounds like you should take a judicious use of lethal force class to learn what to do, when, and how. The number one priority of course is running away. California has both stand your ground (Lethal force may be justified in the defense of yourself or others in a situation facing imminent bodily harm) and castle doctrine (home invasion is considered to be an imminent bodily harm situation). In CA if you don't act within the law they have no problem putting you in jail so it's up to you to shoulder the responsibility if you choose to carry. Also regardless of whether or not you acted within the law you will get sued after the fact.

Because I hate it when people get preachy when asked a question and provide no actual relevant information, in regards to your question:

In CA there are usually no length restrictions on a knife you can concealed carry, only the type. Basically a folder without being a switchblade. In schools the length limit of a fixed or locking blade is 2.5" In city buildings, meetings, court houses, etc the limit is 4".

For a quality sub 4" blade I think the Spyderco Endura 4 Wave is great: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00190VMFM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=MZWJMM7PLOK8&coliid=I16PPRQSFTZH5Z

The little hook on the back of the blade is to snag your pocket to speed deploy the blade one handed as you pull the knife out.

If you require the short blade the Spyderco Chicago was designed with that restriction in mind: http://www.amazon.com/Spyderco-Chicago-Plain-Knife-Black/dp/B0056NM2WK/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1409935552&sr=1-1&keywords=spyderco+chicago

Spyderco Endura 4 with VG10 steel. I love mine! It can take an amazingly sharp edge and has great edge retention.

u/r_Slash_Badass · 1 pointr/LifeProTips

My comment was written with most everyday people in mind. They're mostly sharpening bad 440C kitchen knives and don't want to spend a lot of money. Another big thing is that your average person in the kitchen doesn't even know just how sharp a knife can get. The average guy is usually okay with a good working edge. I was recommending the honing rod and the Lansky system because they're inexpensive, easy-to-use, and they last a long time. Plus, most people are never even going to need a Lansky. That's already more advanced than most want to get.

If you have good knives though, everything changes. If you're a knife guy, then yeah absolutely you need to have a more sophisticated sharpening system.

We're both knife guys, so you'll probably agree that it all really depends on which knife you're using.

There are so many factors that go into it.

How thick is the knife?
What's the blade length/shape?
What's the steel?
What's the grind? Convex? Hollow? Full-Flat Grind? Scandi? Sabre?
What's the angle on that grind?
What type of knife is this?
What kind of edge do I want to put on it?

I personally just put a convex edge on most of my knives, so all I really use is a strop and a handful of compounds. For everything else I just use an Apex Edge Pro.

Tons of good options in that price range. How big do you want to go? Some ones off the top of my head

From Kershaw:

Blur, Skyline, Leek, hell, the Cryo G10 is what, 25-30 bucks?

Spyderco:

Ton of good options in a variety of lengths and prices. I can't even begin to encompass their entire lineup. However, I'm going to recommend what's in my pocket right now, the Dragonfly 2. On amazon the Salt with H1 rustproof steel is 45 bucks right now. My friend goes scuba diving with his, the thing will not rust. The standard version in VG-10 steel is right at 50 bucks

u/Zafiro-Anejo · 1 pointr/knives

Well, I didn't like the hole except in the most utilitarian sense. That is to say I liked being able to open it with one hand but I didn't like the way the hole looked.

I don't see the greater reliability thing, I mean a assisted with a broken spring still works, it just isn't assisted.

I know a lot of people go nuts for spydercos but when I ditched my endura for the blur I had no regrets. Except that the blur cost more. I've bought a ton of knives since I bought the blur in 2010 and I still carry it a lot. IT just hits a sweet spot for me. Plus the spyderco was a lock back if I recall correctly and that means two hands to fold up unless you practice a lot. I'm not going to devote that kind of time to it.

How crap I'm rambling, why stop now? One of the knives I thought was going to be my new daily knife was a crkt m16. It was smaller, nice blade shape, etc. I liked it a lot until, autolawks. That stupid thing killed it for me.

How small of a knife would you be willing to purchase?
Any of the Spyderco Bug series would be a good choice. Priced right and come in different sizes.

Honeybee

Grasshopper

All three deal


For opening boxes (cutting tape) any of those will suffice. If your cutting cardboard, then mostly the Grasshopper will do (although not efficiently)


Also an Opinel looks classy while still being functional. All different sizes to choose from too.

I was in the same situation as you just a few weeks ago. I didn't know much about knives, but knew I wanted a quality pocket knife to carry around for utility. After posting on this sub and doing my own research, I decided to purchase the Kershaw Shallot. The Kershaw company website has it listed for a little over $100, but you can buy it on Amazon (100% Genuine, sold by Kershaw themselves) for $50-$60. I highly recommend it! Here's a link to the specific sub-model I purchased,

Don't get that. If you want to wow him, definately get something special, like a Spyderco Delica Wave

The wave, patented by Emerson (famous high end brand), allows knives to be deployed the moment out of the pocket by itself. See if he owns one already, if not, that is a great choice.

Any of the Kershaw X Emerson CQC series is also a great choice, with the same wave feature. I always get these as gifts for people, both knife nut and non-nut. They always seem to be wowed by the wave feature. Its just my go-to for a knife gift.

u/stephengee · 1 pointr/knifeclub

You are also in price range of the Delica 4 and Centofante 3 or Endura 4

These are much better knives than the Tenacious, Skyline or Cryo. VG-10 is much better steel, made with much better quality control from better materials.

Obviously, they are right at your price point, but its a whole-nother-level type of thing when compared to the Cryo and such.

Yeah unfortunately high quality knives are very expensive, and unless you really use them a lot and can take care of them it can be a waste of an investment. Have you seen the Spyderco Rescue? That's about $60 if you find the right coupons.

EDIT: I found a SOG that fits the bill. A little less quality than the Spyderco, and definitely not as well built as the Benchmade, but you can't beat the price and it's still 100x better than a crappy knife you'll find in walmart.

Spyderco Delica 4 Wave
VG-10 is a decent steel and at 2.9 inches this might be the right choice for you.

I put this tiny knife on my keychain recently and, let me tell you, it's a great little knife. The stainless steel looks classy, the small size is not threatening to others in an office/work situation for example. The blade is perfect for cuttings cordage, the tape on amazon packages, and most other EDC tasks you could encounter if you live in an urban or suburban area.

I'm looking to get a Delica 4, such a sexy knife!

I recommend saving another $20 and springing for a Spyderco Dragonfly 2 In H1. Light as a feather, legal nearly everywhere, nigh invulnerable (like The Tick), and easy to sharpen with a great pocket clip! Just gave one as a first knife gift to my sister.

Benchmade Crooked River. Benchmade makes great knives. Lifetime warranty, razor sharp out of the box, and the best locking mechanism out there.
