What is your budget, what blade length are you comfortable with and what is your intended usage? ( heavy junkyard work or just like cutting down boxes and envelops l)

I've gone through some over the years and here's a few of my favorites and currently on my EDC rotation.
Spyderco Native that I got from an online spyderco raffle while I was deployed.
SureFire EW04 and EW06the folder is my go to EDC knife and the fixed blade is my battle rattle knife.

They do make a 3 inch btw

I am actually looking for a pocket knife.
Doesn't have to be a $200, for some reason they're that expensive idk why.
but yeah, around $50 should buy a really good knife right?
I'll was going to get this one. Looks sweet, but I've read some junky reviews on it so pass.
Look really nice though. oh well.

50 will buy you a decent tool knife. Think Kershaw Leek/scallion/onion. Blades will be either 420 stainless or a Chinese "copy" D2 in AUS8 not to say either is bad, and depends on your usage, but I dont really like 420c other than for beater knives.
If you dont wan to be sharpening it all the time you want a decent steel, I really like the S30 S35 with 154cm as a second choice and D2 tool steels coming in a very close 3rd, as they take a great edge and hold it, though it can be a PIA to get that edge on there as they are all very hard.....
Little more money than 50 bucks
But this would be where I would start if I wanted a really good EDC cheaper knife
benchmade Griptillion they can be had for a bit less
Or something from spiderco I dont know their product line that well as I am not a spiderco guy......
But this is coming from a guy that carries a Spartan Akribis or Bradley Allias II (rare and hard to find even on the secondary market now) everyday..

I'd second what Sleeve said. The Griptilian is a great entry into higher quality knives. I would also recommend a Spyderco Delica or Endura. They're cheap, vg10 takes a razor edge, has fairly decent edge retention and is easy to sharpen. I usually have a Delica on me as a beater blade and it serves it's role very well.

Cool.
I'll get that butterfly one that sleeve suggested.
I'd rather get a 4'' edge, but don't want to go to jail allot of pigs around here will
say it's an assault knife made for killing ect..
Those spidercos too strange. It looks more like wedding cake knife.
Is that just for looks or what?
Dave u seem spidercos the best but really which one u like the best of the butterfly or spider?
the butterfly is like $10-20 more expensive might be better quality.
