Toughest folding knife under £50

[Joe Newton]

As the title might suggest I'm in the market for a new pen knife, after using my single blade Swiss folder for battoning last weekend camping.

 

It's generally accepted that a folder won't be as strong as a fixed blade, and the weak point is usually the lock.

 

My requirements are:

 

Tough

One handed opening

Non serrated

3 to 4" blade

Under 50 quid

 

(Not a huge fan of the liner lock so a different locking mech would be a huge bonus)

 

I've looked on Hiennie Haynes, but the choice is huge and before I know it I'm looking at £100 knives!

Opinel £9, use mine everyday. Just don't spread Mulberry jam with it and lick the blade clean. Ouch!

Take a look at the Spydeco range; I've a real nice folding one, tad more than £50.00 but there are knives available to your spec and at your price range.

My Buck Redpoint has been superb, and is specifically designed for one-handed opening.

Only about £30 as well.

Don't you have to be 16 to have a knife though?

Aren't you too old to be a Boy Scout?

 

Cheers lads. Opinel are nowhere near tough enough for me. Lovely knives though!

Had a look at the Buck knife, looks almost exactly what I'm after!

 

Cheers old timer!

No worries youth, don't cut your fingers, it's sharp.

I laugh in the face of danger.

 

One time I ran with scissors...
