Best D2 Steel Pocket Knives Under $50

kERSHAW Highball......best bargain out there

RAT 1 forever....

$20 dolars chinesse d2 knives

SOG omega springs break easily. I'm on my third SOG Terminus due to broken omega springs. SOG has a great warranty but its a pain to have to pay to ship a knife back so often... I'd avoid it and go with a CJRB or CRKT.

I drank the kool-aid and started buying D2 knives until they all started rusting in their indoor, controlled environment storage. So when I bought the RAT I and RAT II, I ordered them in AUS 8. I don’t buy knives in D2 anymore.

Very informative and well said.

Great video! Have you thought about talking about the cjrb pyrite ?

Excellent video 👍👍

spend the 8 dollars more and snag the knafs lander..... god it is such a great edc

What's a good deep-carry, lightweight flipper EDC?

CH 3504,3002,3507 G10???

Now 154cm as well

I really like the talla.

I feel like you could have had several Civivis. They basically invented the budget D2 genre. The Wyvern is an interesting choice. Cool knife.

I like that micarda look with a shiny blade . The light micarda with worn looking lighter accents against the bright steel is a really pretty knife . Cjrb there ya go ..feldspar large , or small bit lose the clip 🙄

I like crkt . The crkt hollow point +p Ruger is awesome and abeauty . You fellas should take a look 👀if you have ruger rifles or guns it’s a nice compliment not like the crap smith and Wesson blades , it’s crkt fellas onion design 👍👍. Get one

I still like Keshaw . Don t care where they re made cuz they’re still good . I like them all , there’s one hell of a nadmade Damascus and brass and black horn all looking awesome for $30 on Amazon . Unnamed artist . Proba third world genius if the Damascus is indeed Damascus . It looks like it . Someone needs to test it and watch the price of the suckers soar 😂😂

Is the feldspar d2 feom carb and I hear those civivis r nice ?

i would love to see best d2 knives in 2022!

I got the Kershaw Highball. A great little knife that looks great and feels good in the hand. An option to get the XL too if you need a bigger knife. Definitely recommend.

I love the pilar. Great action and blade is awesome.

I'll always prefer washers. Bearings are fine for lighter use but are easer to get stuff like dust or grit stuck in.

Loving my 32.00 OSP Penquin in D2.

What’s your favorite knife band that cost under 50$

I bought the SOG Terminus XR in D2 and crimson G-10. The only reason to buy the more expensive S35VN version is if you like the carbon fibre handle. I personally consider powder steel a bit excessive for folding knives, which for me are disposable in a way. I will usually have a S35VN fix blade as a back up (SOG Pillar or ESEE-4).
I get the collectability of premium folders, but I buy powder steel knives that are going to be bomb proof.
proceeds to lose bomb proof knife

The cjrb blade shape is probably a sheepclif

You sir, are the Sean Evans of blades. Great presentation!

Better than BHQ gets to the point fast. keep up the good work

This type of lock is unprofessional, unprofessional, and insecure... I don't know what high-end European companies use

Only clicked on the video because I saw my old knife

kind of disappointing that you didn't open the Tenet on camera. would've been nice to see the "fantastic flipping action" overall, a good informative video.

I think the Harnds Maverick should be on this list. 3 different variations but all 3 are D2 at $42.

I'm sorry to say but D2 Steel on knives get rust spots I left my qsp penguin D2 Steel in the rain for one day and found rust on the blade

Give me frustration knowing d2 is still rare in my country

Can we please have a list? Thank you

I got a d2 knife thats sht... i assume it was heat treated terribly or maybe just not even d2 but its extremely hard to sharpen and dulls extremely fast...

There was a huge shift when Queens started all their slip joints in D2
It boosted the usability of the blades and their edge retention from the SS they were using
But they never got the screaming sharp of their carbon economy line

Talla looks great

First Kershaw I’m interested in!!!

sweet batch

God I love straight to the meat videos. This guy's awesome.

All those knifes aren't allowed to carry in germany, sadly

The Pull-Out King deems this selection as great.
We would like the Kershaw Emerson if it didn't have that 'Wave' projection coming out the top of the blade, though.

I like the Rat 1 in D2 and the Rat 2 in D2 with carbon fiber scales (called the R2D2). I chose the Civivi Elementum with micarta scales because of city knife laws. I like the Civivi better than the Ontario Rat for work because the liners are stainless on it. My Rat got water between the scales and the liner and started rust. Will probably be a while before it is a problem though.

Good presentation as usual!!!!! Grant B. Thanks!!!

When 50 dollars becomes budget and a low price for a knife you know that the world has changed a lot .

I’m a knife collecting newbie, and this video is right up my alley! So far my OCD is limited to smaller knives with d2 steel only. I’m buying up all the knives I can find. Someday I hope my tastes will broaden, but for right now, keep the d2s coming! Thanks!

It could be a hybrid between the two knives

Being a sheepsfoot snob, I would call the "Talla" a modified warn cliff blade shape. If I was getting fancy i would call it a "cyber cliff" blade shape.

i'm not even that big on knives but i can listen to DCA all day
