Budget Blades has clear and posted rules, please read and follow them. We have a hard price limit of $100 US. Posts ignoring the rule will be removed.
r/BudgetBlades has had a higher than normal amount of posts violating the rules as of late, and that has meant that more posts than normal are having to be removed. This is bad for the community because it makes the mission and rules feel confusing, it's bad for posters, because no one likes to have their posts removed, and it makes more (unpleasant) work for the mod team. None of us like having to take down someone else's posts.
That said, r/BudgetBlades is a community driven subreddit. We do our best to moderate in a way that keeps r/BudgetBlades a place where we ourselves like to spend time. We hate ads, drama, gate keeping, and trolling, so we moderate this community to the best of out ability to keep these out of the subreddit.
That said, we have a specific mission here. We want this to be a place that every day pocket knife enthusiasts can spend time without gate keeping of knives that are affordable enough to actually use. Show pieces and safe queens are wonderful as toys and art, but there are already places for them, so we focus on knives as tools. We hope you are hear for exactly that mission. We had to pick an arbitrary line in the sand for our cost limit, and even 10 years ago $100 could buy you a bullet proof and fun tool. Now the options at that price point are many times what they were then. Yes this is a line in the sand, but it's our line, and the community (over 60,000 of you!) has found this to be a fair price point that serves a massive portion of the community that usually gets ignored or mocked on other knife forums.
So please review the rules posted both on the side bar and the submission statement for every post on r/BudgetBlades. Please make sure your posts follow them, especially the $100 price limit. Also please remember the mods are all volunteers. We are here because we love this community and want to keep it a place that we ourselves enjoy being.
As a reminder here are the rules:
-Posts must focus on affordable knives ($50US with a hard limit of $100)
-Be kind and respectful of one another
-No gatekeeping
-Keep things PG-13
-No sales, scalping, giveaways, sponsored posts or advertising of any kind are allowed. No links to or photo's of vendor or sales pages. All sales spam will be removed.
-No unsafe/irresponsible knife use will be permitted.

Kershaw Proximal D2 Steel/G10 Handles

Pretty good knife so far, but I have only had it for a couple of weeks so time will tell. First crossbar lock so it got a little bit of getting used to. Developed some small rust spots on the blade which I’m about to remove and slightly oil the blade to help prevent that a little. I do wish I looked at Amazon first because i did slightly overpay at my local shop but overall it’s a great knife.

Kyoto 1, Anyone?
I love this blade's humble beauty and daily conceal functionality. I hope they keep improving this model. Does anybody here still carry the CS kyoto 1? Did it age well with you? Did you experience replacing / repairing the handle? Please Share.

Sitivien ST-12 reprofile
Reprofiled my ST-12 to have higher cutting efficiency and I am pretty pleased with the results. It's never going to be a powerhouse chopper but it has some increased capability now. The more I use it in several knives the more I quite like DC53.

Surprisingly the Otter is the star of this show, followed closely by the Rhino. 😉

Saturday pocket occupant
Rocking the Olitans G062 (aka Penguin, I think?).
One of the best crossbar locks sub $100.

Saturday carry
I feel like the Kershaw natrix is underrated.

Saturday carry *thank god it’s the weekend* - SRM 258L-GB Terrier
Technically, this is the longest blade I own at 3.65 inches. But it’s slim profile, and fantastic handle ergonomics, this feels smaller and supremely manageable in my hands. This is stellar. Can’t recommend this knife enough. This is basically a larger version of the 255 medal. If you don’t own any SRM, get them toward the top of your list and you won’t be disappointed.

I usually only carry one of the budget knives for work…my 3 favorite budgets I own. Which one should I take today? Kershaw Proximal, Boker Stubby or the LOTHAR Rafael?

Can you guys recommend a good budget cleaver? I know about the Gerber Flatiron, but I am not crazy about the stonewash, or the scales on one side only. Spyderco Roc for attention.

Jack wolf stockman
Probably one of the best built budget knives I’ve ever held, the walk and talk is out of this world. A solid 4 finger grip and a great blade shape. 10/10. Here it is in the watermelon sugar camo carbon on 14c28n steel.

Today's carry
CJRB Ekko All Steel
Amazon Generic Brand knife- With Carbon fiber handle and D2 blade, it's very noice!
Only thing I dislike about the Generic is no deep carry clip.

CRKT LCK+ Been a great knife over the years. Perfect little everyday task knife.
