I have carried a Bucklite folder knife for years and it finally craped out. The tip broke and it's now sitting in the Kill Van Kull. Any recommendations? Looking for a cheap, do-all, work knife.

I carry a Gerber utility knife. They're $12 at Mcmaster.com http://www.mcmaster.com/#utility-knives/=dkv3tq

 

It uses the extra heavy duty blades which are thicker than the utility knives you get at Lowes/Home Depot. I love it.

 

It may not be as "Cool" as other knives but it works great.

 

here's mine:

 

I'd go with this.

 

In all seriousness, I like Wenger stuff

 

edit: I have one of the Ranger series

I keep looking at the Ranger series every time I stop at duty free at the Canadian border on my way back from Montreal, but they only stock the orange handle at a pretty decent price.

Way to expensive Bobby, my knife has to be able to scrap gum of the ground and cut boxes. El cheapo baby, those are for when i'm going out on the town with my lady friend.

You can always take advantage of Buck's "Forever Warranty" (http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=about.warranty) and get your Bucklite repaired. Last time I broke the tip on my Buck Ranger, I sent it to Buck and they replaced the blade free of charge, sharpened it, and cleaned the knife up for me. All I did was pay for shipping. Great service that will make me a buck customer for life

+1000 to this. You bought a quality American product for many reason. This should be one of them.

Amazon has a lightning deal on the Kershaw Blur right now

 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TB6RTE?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

Price is $39.99 for the next 3 hours. This used to be my "work" knife for years, 'til I found out assisted knives were a no go in NYC.

I love my Gerber knife for this very reason - I've had it for years and if it ever breaks, I can get it replaced via warranty!

I should say that it has to be under 30 bucks.

 

Thanks for the Bucklite recommendation but the knife is GONE!

cerrated?

 

Damn, that's not a work knife. That's a defensive piece that I wouldn't want to damage by cutting stuff all day.

No, it's not serrated. And it's a made in Taiwan piece of junk. Perfect for cutting boxes.

Are you saying that Taiwanese things are junk? I want a cerrated one.

Yes, I am. And serrated sux for cutting boxes/tape/etc

I want a cerrated knife! It's what I want! Why do all you Democrats keep telling me what's good for me! Stop it!

Just cuz I think Hannity and Beck are douchebags doesn't mean I'm a *cringe* Democrat :thsmiley_deadhorse:

 

And you're entitled to want whatever you want - even if it's the wrong tool for the job

 

Way to derail your own thread tho

Gerber EZ-Out has a clip. I have one (older, non serrated version).

Guess I gotta go to Dick's this weekend. Thanks Nicky

Gonna be more expensive from Dick's... also not sure if it's even available!

They always have a bunch of knives, and I'll be in the area anyway.

CRKT's have some very cool blades for reasonable prices, you can have "cerrated", plain or combo and many are assisted openers.

Assuming you can live with tip-up carry only, I've always had great luck with the Benchmade Mini Griptilian.

 

 

 

 

Spyderco tenacious is a good knife around $30. If thatsk a tad too rich for you, byrd knives make various models in partial or full serrated edge using decent steel that takes and holds an edge well. I like the cara cara, flight, and crossbill knives. New graham knives has a good inventory of knives of all types, i would look there.

did you ever decide on anything?

I just use my Leatherman Wave knife. I was gonna send my buck knife back in since Caine mentioned they will fix it for free if you send it in.
