Super High Quality EDC Knives For Around $20 (Top 20)

this is by far one of the best knife videos ive seen on you tube and i watch knife videos daily thank you for doing this your amazing

Good informative vid

What do you think about Kizer?

Why is a deep carry clip so popular, they are more difficult to retrieve from pocket. Are folks that afraid of the end of their pocket knife being exposed? Deep carry clips almost always ruin the ergonomics of a knife with their tall design then add proud cap head screws to make it worse and many times, ruin pocket hems quicker. Over them.

I love my cheap Chinese knives from Ganzo and Sanrenmu.

Awesome vid, thanks a lot my list of knives to buy next just got longer, 👌

You have your mouth open 😮 every knife, you look ridiculous 😂

I like how fast you are able to show us so many knives. Most of the knife channels say about the same thing in 20 minutes that you are able to say in 30 seconds (how many times does a person really need to see someone flick open a knife?). Good job.

I love EDC as a concept and hobby, but the mere concept of dropping $200+ dollars on a knife makes me queasy. I can understand if you're a cop or a soldier or fighting ninjas or something but for the average joe, it's a bit excessive, though I totally get the appeal and hobby.

Don't know where to start! ALL GREAT VALUES! The first two got my attention! Especially the SRM, totally overbuilt, and what appears to be a hollow grind! Appreciate all of your great presentations, AND HARD WORK! Thanks for gettin' me into trouble AGAIN!!

The IKIV is sadly no longer available. Shame, I was really wanting to try one of those out. Absolutely love the modified wharnscliff (SP?) blade shape.
I've owned one of the Ganzo G7531's. I own several Ganzo knives, and usually, I really like their stuff. the G7531 was... well, I opened up the box, and right out of the box, I filled out a return ticket for it. The pivot was tightened to the point that it was a struggle to open. And the axis lock was really stiff, and actually a bit painful to work.
Ganzo knive's axis locks are like that tho, it takes a while for their springs to break in. I did end up giving the knife a try, and after tuning the pivot, it's a pretty good knife. That shape is very mindful of skinning knives, and really does do a good job of being a slicer. The grip is really comfortable. And it comes with a decent sharpness, and all the grinds are really good. The only bad things that I can really say about Ganzo is that the need to start using better knobs. For the axis lock, and the thumbstud. Something with a grind that doesn't bite so much into the fingers and thumbs. Aside from that, they're a great budget knife company!
That one of mine tho, that pivot. It's fickle. And I'm constantly having to re-tune it.

Definitely added a few on a list ha I love cheap knifes I have 5 that’s 50-60 4 otf and 1 crkt spring assist my buddy has a bench made that’s carbon fiber I forget some where in the 300 range and I have 30 knives minus 6 (throwing knives) so 24 knives all different for less then the 300 and I love them if they break or it was a cheap blade I had fun using it, Amazon definitely has some great hidden knives

I've got the Cryo and the Rat2 years ago. I don't think I'll ever regret those purchases.

I love my parrot 😢

Subscribed. 👍

In europe there are no budget knife manufacturers and every knife here is 3x the price compared to us. My spyderco tenacious cost me 85$ and my ontario rat 2 with aus8 steel was around 60$ in the cheapest option. Too bad there isn't a lot of quality knives with a low price like in the states..

Feeding the algorithm to encourage this behavior. Thanks for the content

Thank you sir, for not spending all your time reviewing $300+ knives.

What is the pen in your pocket? Is that a tactical?

No knife channel has done a better $20 collection than this, thank you 👍 subbed.

Do you mean 801 freetiger 901 looks like a different 🔪

My favorite budget knife is a oerla fixed blade for around 30 cheapest and 50-70 most expensive there extremely good knifes will last year

Russian. из моего опыта и в армии и после в гражданской жизни , клипса должна быть со стороны лезвия а не наоборот

Sanrenmu 710 known as the "Poor Man's Sabenza" should be on this list and the Buck Bantam 284 would be a good one too. I have had the Sanremu 710 for years and it's just a tank of a knife.

i hate the term "budget knife"

Some of these knives are $40!!!

DUDE...lOOK AT CAMLLUS HORIZON...IT'S GREAT

I know this will sound Petty but I sure wish OKC would make the rat one and rat 2 in flipper editions maybe just a special run cuz I have such difficulty with the thumb stud on the right one for some reason.

I own the Ka bar folding hunter. Its a lovely knife very good for the price.

Thank you for this video my good SIr. God bless you!

I never understood why people liked the rat 1 or rat 2 knives. To me the shape of the scales kills it. Theyre so ugly lol

Ahh the sound of an Imperial Probe droid... always warms my heart.

Oh--- just nabbed a SRM 7228 based on your rec of the 7063, I preferred the thinner blade grind, less blocky body, split clip, and the edge that drops below the handle when open.

Nice one!👌

NEW SUB I would like to see the name on the screen as you show them hard to understand you at times! THANK YOU FOR THE INFO!!

Love the QSP Parrot!! Got 2 D2 for $20 each. Beautiful.

If you get the chance, you may want to add the Smith and Wesson SW609 to your list...Under $20 and worth more than twice as much. I work construction and have been carrying mine for several years. Hard to sharpen due to the hardness of the blade, but I have been told by many who have used it that it has a better edge than most stanley type razor knives.

So you check out these knives you realize at checkout your now into the 40 dollar range and if you go to check out there your know into the 60 dollar range and then you start thinking what about 2 40z 3 20z then you realize yes this guy's channel and knifes are addictive. 👍

Land 910Plus ?

Thanks for the video! I like the knives you find!

An excellent intro to these "budget" knives, Jay! I was looking for an inexpensive EDC mainly for cutting heavy cardboard, so wanted something with not too much of a "belly". Do you think a Rat 2 would better than say, a CJRB Feldspar for this task? My Spyderco Byrd is ok, but looking for a bit longer blade for other EDC purposes as well. Thanks again!

I wonder how much of the market Kershaw lose through doing so many assisted opening.

Just a heads up, EF is literally never real D2

Jay, where can I buy the Ganzo G7531 Auto ? Thanks 😊

Hey Jay, was going through your videos, Awesome as always :)) saw that you have a Newtron 2 I have a friend going to blade show West and his is trying to get for me either a Shadow or a Newtron 2. I'd you'd consider a trade ill have him try to grab a left handed version of the Newtron 2 let me know?

How about top 20 EDC knives for people who care about quality steel.

I’m on my third torsion bar for my kershaw speedsafe, going to be actively avoiding spring assisted from now on.

Ganzo love!!!

Honestly you're probably the most relatable knife review guy I watch this year. I definitely can't even watch expensive knife channels anymore. I just can't relate.

Your Chanel is awesome man
