Shlomo ben Maved replied to duncan lemp's discussion best knife for the dollar in the group Beginner Collectors"I can't agree more on the Dozier's from Ka-Bar--great little knives for little money, good enough steel and made in Taiwan as opposed to the Spyderco BYRD line that is made in China to their specifications."
AlecsKnives left a comment for duncan lemp"Hi Duncan,
If you want to buy more than one knife, my suggestion is use Ebay and buy lightly used knives (if they are for using not collecting). All the suggestions you got from other members are good. No one wrote about Cold Steel, I love those…"

They have been around for years and are proven a design. And for fixed blades you cant go wrong with a Ka-Bar, same story, they are proven a design and have been around for years.…"
Anthony G. replied to duncan lemp's discussion best knife for the dollar in the group Beginner Collectors"Spyderco Persistence is a fantastic knife. The little brother to the Tenacious, the blade comes out to 3 inches and proves to be a superb EDC blade. For those who are concerned with the size of the Tenacious, one should seriously consider a…"

As your collection grows and you become more knowledgible. You can move up to the $69.00-$89.00 range of the Benchmade Griptilians. A must for any knife collector..."

Randy Huckeby replied to duncan lemp's discussion best knife for the dollar in the group Beginner Collectors"Hello Duncan,
For a very inexpensive knife, it is hard to beat a Byrd. The Tenacious is a tremendous value also. CRKT Drifter for under $20 & Ontario RAT-1 for under $40 are good deals too. I sell a lot of Rough Rider knives. There is a large…"

- Hi Duncan,
If you want to buy more than one knife, my suggestion is use Ebay and buy lightly used knives (if they are for using not collecting). All the suggestions you got from other members are good. No one wrote about Cold Steel, I love those knives, SOG is great, Benchmade is great. I am not a big CRT fan but alot of people use them. Even if you take your time and just browse knives on Ebay you will learn ALOT just reading the ads. I think you would be happier buying slightly more expensive knives, even if you have to save for a while. I started out with some pretty cheap knives and moved up over time. My last knife was an Emerson that I paid $280 for and I have rehandled it. I love that knife, but I still use my $90 Cold steel Recon 1 Tanto. Here is another suggestion. Get some catalogs. The cold Steel DVD is alot of fun and very cheap. You might LOVE the AG RUSSELL monthly catalog. it has many of the major brands in it and you will see that knives have "price points"... there is the $20-40 range, $40-60, and etc... after you read the catalog for a few months you will have a better sense of what is out there. I have a few tacticals I use. I collect Case knives. Esp the older ones. I have a few pics of them, but I need to take more pics, i have a lot more knives.
I hope I helped.
