    I tell ya the knife channel that focuses on knives $60 and under 100% has my attention. I'm too cheap to spend big money on just 1 knife. When I see youtubers start talking about $100+ knives my mind just instant tunes out. So thank you for "low budget" videos likes this one.

    I own many Great eastern cutlery and Case knives Spyderco knives even a custom one-of-a-kind Bowie I paid $595.00 for. However, Now that I am 64 years old near retirement with less money and other priorities I will no longer be collecting and buying anymore knives of any kind no matter how nice they are or what new models come out. I have all I need and can use of all patterns of fixed blades, folders and there is a time when you say enough is enough I have all I need and want. That is just me my opinion fro0m years of collecting knives. If you are young and have the money enjoy collecting knives it is a fun hobby but it can be very expensive too.

    The P801, easily a $100 knife in hand. Ruike has always been in the shadows dropping amazing budget knives. At one point they had a S steel for under $75 I want to might have been $60. If you don't mind shopping around you can get some GREAT knives for under $60 but you bump it up to $100 and you can get whatever floats your boat. Awesome set of knives as always love the straight up knife love and pure "this is a good knife" ultimately we come here to see you say that. Keep em coming!

    Great stuff as always! I bought a Swiss Tech Leicht a few months ago and that thing was razor sharp out of the box. I keep it in my truck so that if it gets broken into and things get stolen, it’s a low cost blade that’s easily replaceable. That being said, I was impressed with the quality and what you get for $36.

    I like that sr1 alot. The only reason I didn't get one a month ago was the ad15 was on sale at the time. Tank. It's a tank. Yeah swisstech makes dang good knives for the money. People just don't like it because it's a Walmart brand. Then they turn around and buy their wrangler jeans there. You can't beat the action of that knife with a stick. Haha I was thinking the same thing... slap a sencut logo on it and it becomes a great budget option! I would use the outdoorsman for feather sticks and food prep.
    It's very cool that you can appreciate a well made inexpensive knife. We know you have some premium stuff, but you don't turn your nose up at anything that works well. Heck you made this whole video because someone was like my budget is 45$ 75% of my knives fall in that range. Well done Chris. Congrats on passing 900. You will have 1500 in no time!

    • @Mastersargent3841
      @Mastersargent3841 2 дні тому

      8cr is less tougher steel.
      Spyderco has been in the game since 76. Spyderco does use 8Cr13MoV steel on some of their budget-friendly knives, like the Tenacious series, which makes them more affordable. However, Spyderco is renowned for offering a variety of premium steels, like S45VN, CPM-M4, and even exotic steels like Maxamet and ZDP-189, on their higher-end models. The choice of steel depends on the price point and intended use.
      Addressing "Weird" Designs:
      Spyderco's designs prioritize ergonomics, functionality, and cutting performance over traditional aesthetics. The unique shapes, like the wide blades and prominent finger choils, are intentional to enhance control, comfort, and slicing efficiency. Once you use one, the 'weirdness' often makes perfect sense.

      Thank you!!! I was a very successful salesman for many years. Actually, I was there at the birth of a nationwide company that most are familiar with. My fingerprints are all over it.
