Low Cost Folding Knives

Grand Way model 6342 on top and MTech "We the People" on bottom (received today). The MTech (spring assisted) is very impressive for $10.85 ! The Grand Way is not spring assisted, just a finger flicker. Grand Way was $14.10.

Sister knife to the MTech USA "We the People" posted earlier. It's the MTech USA "Don't Tread On Me" (Model MX-A849AS).

Cool. What do you typically use this kind of blade for?

Cutting heavy plastic banding, thick cardboard, and everything else in a warehouse environment. Serrated edges act just like a saw blade on tough, stubborn materials. Putting lots of pressure on a razor box knife can be disastrous if it unexpectedly slips. Short, back and forth sawing motion with a hooked (claw) end makes the blade much more stable for my purposes.
 
hello all, please school me on small size honey badger knives? are they worth it? drop point versus wharnecleaver? which steel? i’m obviously not a knife guy, my edc is just a simple swiss army knife, but i’m open to gifting myself a decent value folder as more of a survival duty knife. need small, non spring assisted for my locales. thanks!

Cleaver-style blades are primarily for slicing/chopping duty. For a general EDC type knife, I'd probably stick to drop point, but it's really more of a personal preference.
As far as steel, D2 has higher hardness level than 8cr13mov, so in theory it should hold its edge longer before needing to be re-sharpened. For a rarely used knife, I'd say it doesn't matter a whole lot. Most of my knives just sit in a drawer, lol.

Honey Badgers are well regarded as far as price to quality ratio, but there are plenty of other decent knives out there for similar money or less, for example Ganzo FH series that uses D2 steel as well.

Received the Honey Badger mentioned above. Has a good, sharp edge on it. Like it fine so far. I'm sure it will suit me just fine.
Smooth, ball bearing flip open.
Not crazy about the liner lock, but I knew that's what it had when I ordered it, and it releases easy enough. Had one before that actually hurt my thumb if I used it much.
Merry Christmas to me!
