How to get a GOOD cheap knife

If you’re like me and sometimes you just can’t spend 100 dollars on an expensive knife but you still want something decent for cheap, here is what you can do. Well first off you want to think about how much are you willing to spend and just what kind of knife you’re looking for. Price differs deepening on the steel of the knife and other important factors. Once you’ve figured out what it is that you’re looking for YOU GO LOOK. The problem is “Where do I look?” well that’s easy; your best friend is the INTERNET. You could do an e-bay search for something you want, but there is a chance that person is going to give you false information on the knife itself.

The mind is a wonderful thing is what I always say, just do your research! look up the knife that has caught your interest. Just look it up on Google or your could go on bladeforums.com and ask some people for help. Always is nice to get some fine information from an experienced knife collector. If your one of those people that don’t want to use e-bay there is still lots of ways to find your dream knife. Either look up on Google where can you find a store with knives and such, but remember some places will have the expensive and fancier knives.

Knives “made in china” or “made in Japan” usually tend to be a piece of crap, but don’t be fooled by what people tell you. Chinese knives can sometimes be a great piece of gear or just a nice knife for your collection if you’re a collector like me. Custom knives made by an individual who has great skill can also be a choice. You have to remember that custom knives tend to be a little more expensive but the choice is yours.

Some brands like “Gerber” sells great gear not just knives that are very cheap. You may even consider buying a Multi-tool which most of the time includes a knife blade. You just have to think hard about what you want and not be afraid to ask around and do your research.
I personally have been fooled into buying a fake “CRKT” knife. CRKT is also a great brand but unfortunaly I have been mislead into buying a fake one.

Good luck and be careful,
