Great list!!!! Thanks 🙏

Great list!

Excellent work. I really appreciate you and your channel. God Bless.

Awesome list brother. Have a wonderful day

Great list 👌

Top 5 knife channels on KZread, easily, thanks for these great vids man. Going to get one or two from this list 😊

Great selection - appreciate the analysis against a large field of competitors - TY!

Great list

Nice to see the GlideStrike making the list!🔥❤

Nice list you smacked them all for sure 👍

Great list. I own a few of these knives. One of my favorite (and vastly over looked) budget knives is the CJRB Lago ($45), which I like more than its sibling-the Pyrite alt.

Great list. I must be paying attention cause I got several of these after watching your tests. Love the penguin, pyrite, vision fg, qubit, and the serene. My next pickups are a racoon and a mayoral. Thanks for the great content, Stassa23! Oh, for those looking at the serene it is D2 steel and not the 9cr18mov of the other Sencuts on the list.

I never, ever miss a Stassa episode. What a great guy.

Gotta agree with your opinion on the Vision FG. One of my favorites.

Excellent video,bravo

Great list. I just purchased the Moyarl with Cross bar lock.

Agreed on Sencutt quality and value, I love my glidestrike crazy smooth, and keep the Phantara in the kitchen always, watched this video and ordered the serene 😅 same day delivery 🚚 Bang!

I really like the Civivi Quilt and the QSP penguin. About to order a Civivi Sokoke. Your suggestions/reviews are always good. t/y :)

Great video mate, much respect from down under :)

Lots of personal favorites on this list. I own all but 4 of the 20. The new Raccoon with top liner lock is the best version in my opinion of the model. It's super smooth and solid, basically a compression lock.

Out of 17 folders ranging in price from very budget to just over $200 the knife I carry the most is a large Honey Badger Knife in D2 with a drop point blade. Around $60 now, though I paid less than $50. Lightweight, yet solidly built, comfortable, capable & dependable.

GREAT CHOICES

Dynamite list thanks for the share❤

Kizer Towser S is one of my favorite knives out of the my 400 plus knife collection. I also own 3 Civivi Quibit because I love it so much and also own the the brown linen Civivi Sokoke. I love the feel and look of the Sokoke knife and am disappointed more people don't have the opportunity to own this brown linen micarta knife, which I think is the the best looking micarta I've ever seen. It looks very wild west and classy to me.

Great review

Of that bunch I got Penguin, Sachse and Qubit. Love them all, Sachse is one of my favorites and only knife I never had ANY, even slightest issues with. Perfect from the box, never even needed to lube it. Qubit is my Civivi GOAT. Had some stick but now it's tuned perfectly. Need to etch and stonewash the blade, though, I hate how Civivi's brushed satin smudges. I need to get the ArcBlast - if it mixes the Qubit's EDC versatility and perfect size and ergos with Sachse's impeccable performance, it may as well become my new fav. But these days my greatest budget knife of all time is Trivisa Hydra. I know it's not for everyone with that higo styling and enormous front flipper, but I love it. It's my best buddy from the day one and after I tuned it, it is the smoothest knife I have ever seen. Ridiculously fast and versatile, it matches any clothing style and setting, too.

Thanx Stassa for the video...like that cmb predator but also sencut arcblast but whats ur thoughts on these 2. Take it easy.

Amazing list. Your honorable mention is hands down my favorite

Man all straight fire. Need me a velona and moyarl.

I love the Kershaw Shuffle II. Best knife i have seen for ~$20

The canary is like the perfect size small knife.

Stassa23 is my jam when it comes to knives. I've been collecting for a few years now & I've never agreed with a list more than this one. So much I got the Civivi Sokoke w/damascus blade & black micarta for $50.

I just got the Sokoke from a FB group for $40 basically brand new

Flicking my Vision FG. Best knife I own.

Cjrb Feldspar for this guy! Thanks for the video!

I think the Miguron Keryx should have been in there. Love the vidzzz

Simple, no nonsense knife vid.

I think a broad drop point blade with a full flat grind is the most versatile blade shape for me. I think the Sokoke is a great #1. My other favorite budget knives not on your list are the Petrified Fish Mini Beluga, and the CJRB Mini Feldspar or Ria. I still think the highest value knife available is the Hogue Ritter RSK series. USA made and super steel for $150-180 is hard to beat.

Excellent list, thank you!

You should check out some ganzo knives!

I think my Divo Pony Stout was around $60 and my favorite budget carry

Yo OG! You Gotta add these to your list: mini beluga, Kizer mini roach, Kubey momentum, Vosteed nightshade TH

The Sencut Serene is in D2. Had it been 9cr18mov, I'd have been into it.

Excellent list...but I would have to add the Vosteed Nightshade. On WMK the thumb stud version is $69 and the thumb hole version is $72 ($65 with your coupon code). Also, the green G10 Kizer Mini Roach is on close out for $45!

Stassa, where did you get that Moyarl with light gray scales and satin blade? I can't find that combo.

Did you stonewash the PVD coating on your Vision FG? Either way, it looks great!

Are the liners super weak in the large pyrite? It seems like the steel liners would prevent the scales from flexing.

Good video, fast moving is what I like. I hate opening the box videos. It takes 5 minutes before you get to see the knife.

I Feel the Vosteed Corgi deserves to be on this list

Brother I feel your pain! There's nothing you said! that I can't agree with....I wish too take this opportunity to say "Thank You" for your expertise. I rarely make a move without your input. Best wishes and Keep it sharp!

Can you do this for fixed blades?

CJRB Lago is my #1. Riff would be high on the list too. If a knife doesn't have a flipper tab, I probably won't buy it and would rank low on my list

Vosteed Chipmunk is my most fav. It has 3 ways of deployment and very smooth action! What do you think of that?

Stassa, can u do a top 10 Two Sun list? Thanks

@j.t.553

Yes please!

Vosteed nightshade has to be on this list

I recently got a Sokoke in Green micarta and black blade. The front flipper sucks and not near as smooth as the non coated blade. It's definitely snappy.

Rat 1. I've beat this knife hard and it takes the beating and sharpens up easily. Tough and easy to sharpen.. I do wish they'd make it in a 154CM or 14C28N

My favorite is 11 Canary folder, only complaint would be that it has no jimping on the spine, but everything else is perfect for my preference! If you want to go really budget, Ganzo knives are awesome! I have the FH41s, it's elegant and really well made fit and finish, I was hesitant because I didn't want D2 but it's holding up pretty well and easier to sharpen than what most people say!

What about the Raike line? Incredible quality at a cheap price.

Gotta checkout the top liner lock racoon

I would add the qsp parrot. Cheaper than the penguin and better cutting geometry. Option to swap out the pocket clip with a civivi deep carry pocket clip to make it a perfect sub 30 dollar knife.

Excellent line up

Would somebody PLEASE HELP ME WITH A GOOD POCKET CLIP THAT I WONT LOOSE!I got into the civivi paraxis & didn’t switch to the after market clip. I like deep carry clips BUT never tried a milled Ti one.the short,wide & strong looking clip that comes stock on a benhmade bug out,looks like a great clip design on a great knife. Benchmade is more expensive,yes..BUT , I have lost $200+ worth of civivis I am curious about that kind of cross bolt (?)lock (and button locks at 2nd place of trying something different. I’m open to suggestions.liner locks have been about all ive ever had.so…?.?.)just want to get a knife that no matter if i slide down a mountain spinning in circles, it will still be in my pocket. Preferably still deep in my pocket where I put it. Unless I am missing something with the milled Ti clips that look like they ride higher up.?.?.just want 1 that isn’t going to bend or snag & be gone. Is there such a thing?Thx for any advice. These knives are all nice. & they are still making plenty of good $.some prices are nuts!

I wish your limit was $80, then you could have added the civivi vision fg, and the real steel pathfinder folder.

The Vision FG certainly is an awsome knife, but I cannot go past the fact it has non recessed liners, flat scales, and this metal bar on the tang part seems uncomfortable. Recessed liners and contoured scaled is a real plus imao, that is why I choose the sokoke over the vision, even if I have not be so lucky to actually try the vision. In any case, for a few more bucks, one can have real good steel, I am thinking little knives like the Vosteed Nightshade S35VN or the Kizer Yorkie M390 both can be found around 100 and are in a whole higher league than those cheap steel knives. Out of all of them, however, I would recommend Kizer’s 154CM, but they are not cheap.

What about the Kershaw Iridium 🤔

@j.t.553

Ehh too pricey for D2 steel

I get it you like one knife brand. Branch out a little or do a top what from one brand.

👍

Why wasn't the CRKT Pilar III D2 included? The reviews for that thing are practically 5/5

Hectare knife needs moyaral opening hole handle cutout.

No Lago?

Camillus Cuda Mini. Very good knife! Not in the list. Too bad, it deserves to be known with its unique opening system.

No rat 2? Shaaammmeee

Is it just me, or are the Sencut Sachse and Arcblast nearly identical?

Petrified fish any count? I think thats the name.

Knafs Lander

I did not watch this video just looked at the title of the video. Seen so many knife videos that involved expensive knives and now this video on budget knives. Therefore, I believe the bottom line message is we should simple appreciate the knives we already own and stop spending.

Your voice man, your voice !

Hell of a video

Vosteed Racoon will some things off this list. OLITANS T024 shouldn't be on here. Civivi Baby Banter should make this list also just a great budget summer carry.

How can you list the best budget knives of all time and not list the Ontario rat 1?

It’s a classic. I have a few of them. Recent price increase makes some other options more attractive to me (I bought all of mine for $26-$32. They are going for about $42-$46 now).

Again I really don't see the deal with the Vision FG. I have it and it is very lack luster. Not very comfortable. Pocket clip sucks.

Civivi actually sucks. A lot. That when I stopped watching

I don't understand why all this deployment crap is so important.. Flicking a knife is so stupid.. Just open it, and use it.. It's all a marketing ploy for children.. Men don't play with knives... They use them...
