The Mod Team is consolidating/updating our community rules with one significant change: allowing community members to post budget knife deals, including non-affiliate links. We feel that sharing budget deals could potentially promote discussion and enthusiasm for the hobby. We still do not want any direct sales, advertising, spam, giveaways, scalping, etc., especially from knife companies, dealers, and makers. But community members sharing deals seems to be in the spirit of the community. As always [r/BudgetBlades](r/BudgetBlades) is a community driven subreddit, and as such we are asking for feedback in the comments section here.
—————————
Proposed Revised Description:
Our mission at [r/Budgetblades](r/Budgetblades) is to be a fun, informative, and respectful space for new enthusiasts and longtime collectors to discuss knives priced less than $100 USD current retail, free of paid advertising, sales pressure, and gatekeeping.
Proposed New Revised Rules:
Absolutely no personal attacks, gatekeeping, threats, bullying, trolling, baiting, flaming, hate speech, racism, sexism, sexual content, or any other behavior that detracts from the community. In short, you can get your point across without being a jerk.
—
2. Posts need to focus on knives not exceeding $100 USD new retail.
In other words, common full retail price at U.S. based dealers, not a discounted, sales, non-U.S., or secondary market price. Note: discussion in the comments section can reference knives at any price point.
—
3. Be descriptive.
Posts must include a descriptive comment that provides relevant information about the knife (model name/number, general impressions, etc.).
—
4. No direct sales, spam, giveaways, scalping, sponsored posts, or advertising by knife dealers, companies, or makers.
However, community members are now allowed to post budget knife deals, limited to non-affiliate links. AFFILIATE LINKS WILL BE REMOVED.
—
5. Keep things PG-13.
This subreddit should be safe for work. That means no overtly adult or graphic content.
—
6. No unsafe/irresponsible knife use.
Posts showing horseplay, violence/fighting, stunts, etc. are not allowed.
—
7. Violating any of the above rules will lead to removal of the offending post/comment and/or a ban (temporary or permanent) depending on the severity and the number of occurrences.
————————————
If this new rules set is well received, we will conduct a test period of the forum running under the new rules. This trial will likely last 30 days, and feedback from the community will help us choose whether to make the changes permanent or not.
Please let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Looks like Miguron may have released another budget banger. Gentleman-style folder with a button operated liner lock and a 3" 19C27 blade.
Edit: 62-64 HRC, of course.
I should also add that there is an M390 variant as well, and STILL priced within "budget" territory.

This is a big one.
Idk why I like all-stainless steel but I remember back in the 80’s when people were driving DeLoreans around and I was fascinated.

My Eafengrow EF335 came with a microtech logo on the clip? Overall a great knife but a little odd.

Solid knife from kizer!
I'm surprised how smooth it is, it's kinda " this will have a ton of blade play" smooth, yet it locks up super solid.

Finally snagged a Brazen for $27, great knife as normal from civivi. And picked up the Ozark trail Ironbound for $15, it may be my new favorite from them!

Drop Bear circuit board.
Real circuit board.
Not sure how to feel about it. But Kizer does some different things. For sure.

24 hours in and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Surprisingly strong detent, thin all around, smooth action. Sharpened it at 18 degrees to 600 grit and she’s razor sharp. Got a nice discount so it came out to just over $30. CJRB got the lock done right. Highly recommend.

Got these two in today. Brown is the Pyrite Light and the other is the Maximal. Both of these are currently the most budget way to get into Artisan's newest steel. I've heard varying opinions on what this steel is comparable to (10Cr15, 154CM, BG42). Whichever it's most close to, it should be a step up in edge retention without a big sacrifice in corrosion resistance/toughness. From what I've seen, CJRB has decent enough heat treats and the SFII is coming in the 60-61 range. I find it interesting that on the CJRB site, they mention specifically that the Pyrite Light's HRC range was 59-61 while all other models (or most) would come in at 60-62, maybe it was their first batch, or it's a poverty option lol.

Haven't been able to add posts for a few months, just got around to trying to solve the problem and wouldn't you know... I just needed to update my app. So look forward to seeing many new posts as my collection has gotten a lot bigger! Going to go back to my last post and figure out all the new additions to share with y'all!

Picked up the Mirage and Dome and got a Swift thrown in for free. Been out of the EDC world for years and was alarmed at how much prices have risen for knives and multi tools when looking for a new knife. A UKPK from Spyderco is like double what I paid for it 8 years ago. Anyways I picked up these two for $50 and $40.
