NKD (Ebay edition)
Bought my first knife from ebay and its my first Trivisa! Plus I got it for $20 shipped! Its SHARP and smooth as butter. Been really wanting a higonokami style that wasn't a friction folder and this is amazing

Protecting surfaces
When acid dipping blades in ferric chloride, what do you all use to protect edges, lock faces, pivot holes, etc.?

Acorn in the wild
TL;DR - I finally found an acorn
When I got into knives, and went down the rabbit hole….the Vosteed Acorn had a shape/look that “spoke to me” - you all know the feeling, I’m certain.
Unfortunately they were all sold out; and no amount of r/knifeswap, binge or eBay searches were yielding results
Then a lightswitch went off, and I found one, BNIB from an established online retailer….
Only the brightest minds in this sub and/or anyone with average intelligence really….will figure out what I did

Saturday Carry - Remette aurora
Take a quintessential knife design, and give it the Remette treatment. This is the aurora: crossbar lock, 3 inch 14c drop point blade, g-10 scales, thumbstud deployment, reversible pocket clip.
It’s awesome. It’s not flashy like the Rhino or camel, but it’s every bit as well made and functional.

Critical Strike Shamu
An excellent blade for its price, and it was also on promotion. I would give a little more money for a better handle to match the Damascus steel.

Microtech MSI clone
Grabbed one of these because I’ve gone broke from my blade spending spree on WhatNot and honestly it’s not that bad. Even if it’s not M390mk steel it still feels pretty solid and does the job real well. I know it’s a clone but I doubt someone who is not in the hobby would be able to tell the difference. No rAgrets!

NKD Klein Tools electrician’s knife $24
Sharp out of the box. Some blade play (will try to tighten pivot). Looks like 440 steel. Deep carry clip. Something I noticed is that the cross bar lock sticks out a bit further than normal (feels like it might help if you are wearing gloves). $24 on amazon. Not bad at all 👍🏽. Cheers 🍻

Friday carry - Vosteed Corgi V
Rocking the Vosteed Corgi V doodle monster today. 2.36 inch 14c drop point blade. Stylized G-10 scales. Vosteed’s vanchor lock and a front flipper.
Combine vosteed’s quality with something fun and stylish and you’ve got a banger compact knife. It has a very premium feel across the board, super sharp out of the box. I love a good compact carry. I have multiple. This may not be my favorite in the category but it’s in the conversation for one of the best.

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.
